This is the complete novel "Pride and Prejudice" with a study guide and biography of Jane Austen. Published in 1913, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is a novel centered around character development hence it may be classified as a novel of manners. It chronicles the behavioral development of certain characters, among whom Elizabeth Bennet is key. Set in Longbourn and environs in Hertfordshire as well as Derbyshire, the novel focuses on the imprints of pride and prejudice on how people relate with, and view others in the society. Although it addresses core societal issues such as pride, class division and segregation, money, love and marriage, as well as education, Pride and Prejudice is rife with comic situations, assumptions, first impressions, misconceptions and eventual discoveries of true behaviors. The culture projected in the novel is that of the Classic English society (United Kingdom) in which regency was the ruling system, and the society was stratified into the higher class and the lower class, or put differently, the 'new' money and the 'old' money, and value was placed so much on inheritance. Mobility from the lower class to the upper class was almost impossible and extremely difficult, but could be achieved through marriage. However, members of the privileged class were socially forbidden from marrying from the underprivileged class. This plays a large role in the development of the events in the novel. Whereas members of the underprivileged class, represented by the Bennet family, are considered uncouth, but ambitious to 'sneak' into upper class,l through marriage, members of the privileged upper class, exemplified by characters such as Lady Catherine and the Bingley family, are thought to be proud and domineering. As a result, there is hardly a union between members of both classes. When there is, it is often not because of love, but for material gains. However, these stereotypic order is defied by a few characters in the novel. Contrary to popular belief, Elizabeth marries Darcy mainly for love. She refuses to conform to societal dictates regarding marriage. Although she was brought up in the same culture, and is also guilty of assuming that all those in the upper class are the same, she grows out of this behavior over time. In the same vein, Darcy and Bingley defy the normal attitude expected of the upper class. Although Darcy initially fails to express his feelings for Elizabeth because of the class difference, he eventually develops in character and grows into Jane Austen's ideal member of the upper class. He does not only begin to treat people politely, he ends up proposing to Elizabeth twice before marrying her based on true love.

Classic Literature for Travel Reading Published by Bearleader Chronicle: It would be hard to find another piece of English literature so well-known, so enduring, so well-read, so adapted. Something that strikes such a cord with its readers must have been authored by a highly trained and experienced writer. But it's not true. Jane Austen started writing purely for entertainment, to amuse herself and her family. It was only much later, near the end of her life, that she set about editing her life's work into the six published novels we know and love.Pride and Prejudice, one of my favorite of Austen's writings, was penned in her early twenties, at her family home in Steventon, Hampshire, about halfway between London and Bath - both cities in which Austen lived for a time.Like all Austen's stories, this one is carefully constructed from Austen's keen observations of life in the pastoral English countryside, with all its foibles ambitions and eccentricities. She once wrote, "Three or four families in a country village is the very thing to work on." And as far as she was concerned, her local observations were enough to tell the story of the whole human family.So, let's take a short trip to the English countryside as Jane Austen introduces us to the Bennet family, guiding us through their lives, triumphs and tribulations.
