Pride and Prejudice
by Austen, Jane
Pride and Prejudice is the second novel by English author Jane Austen, after Sense and Sensibility. First published on 28 January 1813, Austen sold the copyright for just £110. Its manuscript was initially written between 1796 and 1797 in Steventon, Hampshire, where Austen lived in the rectory. Originally called First Impressions, it was never published under that title, and in following revisions it was retitled Pride and Prejudice. It was first published anonymously.
A novel of manners, set in the early 19th century, the story follows the main character, Elizabeth Bennet, the second of five daughters of a country gentleman. The five unmarried sisters are pressed to find a good wealthy match, and the very opinionated Elizabeth comes to odds with her proud beau Mr. Darcy.
First edition identification
The first edition of Pride and Prejudice was published on the 28th of January, 1813 by Thomas Egerton in Whitehall England in three volumes. When the first edition sold out, the second printing was released in October of that year. The third edition was published in 1817.
