Pride and Prejudice
Pride and Prejudice is a romantic novel by Jane Austen, focusing on the concept of love during the late 18th century in England. In fact Jane Austen originally titled her novel First Impressions.

The comedy of the writing lies in the depiction of manners, education, marriage and money during the British Regency period.
