Pride and Prejudice is a novel of manners by Jane Austen, first
published in 1813. The story follows the main character Elizabeth
Bennet as she deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality,
education, and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of
early 19th-century England. Elizabeth is the second of five
daughters of a country gentleman living near the fictional town of
Meryton in Hertfordshire, near London. Though the story is set at
the turn of the 19th century, it retains a fascination for modern
readers, continuing near the top of lists of "most loved books"
such as The Big Read. It has become one of the most popular novels
in English literature and receives considerable attention from
literary scholars. Modern interest in the book has resulted in a
number of dramatic adaptations and an abundance of novels and
stories imitating Austen's memorable characters or themes. To date,
the book has sold some 20 million copies worldwide. As Anna
Quindlen wrote, Pride and Prejudice is also about that thing that
all great novels consider, the search for self. And it is the first
great novel that teaches us this search is as surely undertaken in
the drawing room making small talk as in the pursuit of a great
white whale or the public punishment of adultery.
