One of the world’s favourite books, Pride and Prejudice has long been regarded as a classic romance. In Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy, Jane Austen created the greatest pair of sparring lovers since Shakespeare’s Beatrice and Benedick. This sparkling comedy of manners features an inimitable cast of characters including the obsequious Mr Collins, the autocratic Lady Catherine de Bourgh and Mrs Bennet, the most embarrassing mother in literature.

Pride and Prejudice stands as Jane Austen’s most celebrated novel, beginning with one of literatures most iconic lines “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” Originally penned between 1796 and 1797 under the title First Impressions, it underwent significant revisions before finally being published on January 28, 1813, by Mr. Egerton of the Military Library, Whitehall, who also published Sense and Sensibility. Like its predecessor and Northanger Abbey, this timeless classic was crafted at Steventon Rectory.
