Since its immediate success in 1813, Pride and Prejudice has remained one of the most popular novels in English. Jane Austen called this brilliant work "her own dear daughter" and her vivacious heroine, Elizabeth Bennet, "a creature as charming as she always appeared in print." The romantic clash between stubborn Elizabeth and her proud boyfriend, Mr. Darcy, is a splendid performance of civilized combat. And Jane Austen's radiant wit shines through as her characters dance a delicate gang of flirtation and intrigue, making this book Regency England's most superb comedy of manners.
