One of the BBC's '100 Novels That Shaped Our World'

HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved, essential classics.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.

Pride and Prejudice, Austen's best-loved tale of love, marriage, and society in class-conscious Georgian England, still delights modern readers today with its comedy and characters.

The story follows the feisty, quick-witted Elizabeth Bennet as her parents seek to ensure good marriages for her and her sisters in order to secure their future. The protagonists, Darcy and Elizabeth, learn much about themselves and those around them. Austen's expertly crafted comedy characters, Mrs Bennet and Mr Collins, demonstrate her great artistry as a writer.
