Pride and PrejudiceOriginally written in 1797 under the title FIRST IMPRESSIONS, this is the story of the romantic and ideological sparring of the spirited Elizabeth Bennett and the egotistical Fitzwilliam Darcy. Also it is a comedy of manners, a caricature of English society depicted in the microcosm of the Bennett family. Although it is an 18th-century English family Jane Austen's classic captures on the page, her story of love and ideals is universal and timeless. |
