Pride and Prejudice

Jane Austen was an English author best known for her books of romantic fiction.  Despite writing many books that are now considered classics, Austen did not gain much fame during her lifetime, likely due to being a woman.  Austen was just 41 years old when she died yet she is still considered one of the best writers of English literature.  

Pride and Prejudice is Austen’s most famous work, a classic romance novel that tells the story of Elizabeth Bennet as she navigates early 19th century British society and its cultural norms and mores. It remains a staple of Western literature.
