But as she makes her own errors of judgement, the pair begin to understand each other and come to realise that first impressions are not always as they seem.Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen’s much-loved tale of marriage and society in Georgian England, continues to delight modern readers with its social comedy, well-drawn characters and subtle nuances.

Jane Austen (1775–1817) is one of the most iconic and widely-read authors in English literature and the creator of some of the most beloved characters in fiction. A talented satirist and observer of social mores, Austen’s romances highlight the vulnerable status of women in Regency England, while her realist depictions of family life, love and friendship provide incomparable insight and heart. Publishing anonymously until after her death, her name is now celebrated as a central contributor to the modern novel and the voice of the Regency age.
