Produktbeschreibung
Pride and Prejudice is a novel by Jane Austen. It was begun in 1796, her second novel, but her first serious attempt at publication. She finished the original manuscript by 1797 in Steventon, Hampshire, where she lived with her parents and siblings in the town rectory. Austen originally called the story First Impressions, but it was never published under that title; instead, she made extensive revisions to the manuscript, then retitled and eventually published it as Pride and Prejudice. In renaming the novel, Austen may have had in mind the final chapter of Fanny Burney's Cecilia, itself called "Pride and Prejudice", where the phrase appears three times in block capitals. The story follows the main character Elizabeth Bennet as she deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education and marriage in the landed gentry society of early 19th century England. Elizabeth is the second eldest of five daughters of a country gentleman landed in the fictional town of Meryton in Hertfordshire, not far from London.

Autorenporträt
Jane Austen (1775-1817) was een Engelse schrijfster die bekend stond om haar scherpe humor, scherp inzicht in de menselijke natuur en tijdloze portrettering van liefde, maatschappij en klasse. Ze schreef zes grote romans, waaronder Sense and Sensibility, Emma en Pride and Prejudice, die lezers al meer dan twee eeuwen boeien. Haar werken worden geroemd om hun scherpzinnige observaties van de sociale structuren van haar tijd en hun complexe vrouwelijke hoofdpersonen. De romans van Austen behoren nog steeds tot de meest geliefde en meest gelezen romans in de Engelse taal.
