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. The novel centres on Elizabeth Bennet, the second of the five daughters of a landed country gentleman. Elizabeth's father, Mr. Bennet, is a bookish man and somewhat neglectful of his responsibilities. In contrast Elizabeth's mother, the empty headed Mrs. Bennet, a woman who lacks social graces, is primarily concerned with finding suitable husbands for her five daughters, who will inherit little or nothing from their father. Will our heroine conquer all, to ensure a happy ending for the family?

Author Biography
Jane Austen (16 December 1775 - 18 July 1817) was an English novelist known principally for her five major novels which interpret, critique and comment upon the novels of sensibility of the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Her most highly praised novel during her own lifetime was Pride and Prejudice (available with annotation friendly margins from CBy Publishing on Amazon) which was her second published novel. Her plots often reflect upon the dependence of women on marriage in the pursuit of secure social standing and economic security. (CC-BY-SA 3, Wikipedia)
