Jane Austen

Pride and Prejudice

First published in 1813, Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice follows Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy through misunderstanding, social pressure, and hard-won self-knowledge — and has since sold over 20 million copies to become one of the most beloved novels in English literature. This Penguin Classics edition, reissued in 2002 with an introduction and editorial apparatus by Vivien Jones, remains the standard paperback entry point for new readers and returning admirers alike.
