Austen offers readers an insightful and often cutting look at social mores in early nineteenth-century England, and the ways in which women were consistently disadvantaged. But it is also a work of genuine historical importance. For one, it is a very entertaining read the characters are memorable, the dialogue is thoroughly engaging, and the plot is both clever and satisfying. There are many reasons that Pride and Prejudice remains a hugely popular and widely-studied book, nearly two centuries after its initial publication.
Pride and Prejudice revolves around the struggles of the Bennett family, made up of five sisters of marriageable age, as they strive to find suitable matches in a society where a woman’s prospects are greatly determined by her marital status. Austen was an exceptionally talented writer, and in this book she displays her finely-tuned sense of human nature and social interaction, as well as her gift for incisive wit and humor.
Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, first published in 1813, is one of the most celebrated novels in the English language.
