"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife" So begins Pride and Prejudice, Austen's masterwork of a novel, in equal parts love story, social commentary and comedy of manners. There have been few books in the history of literature that have been taken more to heart by the British people, enchanted as they are by the twists and turns of Regency England. The story of Elizabeth Bennet and her slow discovery of love cannot fail to win over audiences, as she deals with issues of manners, upbringing,...

The most famous of Jane Austen's novels, Pride and Prejudice has become one of the most popular novels in English literature, and it remains a source of fascination for modern readers; regularly ranking near the top of lists of "most loved books," no surprise for a book tackling issues from manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage.
