Elizabeth Bennet has little patience for the pride of Mr Darcy, whose manners seem to confirm everything she dislikes about privilege and social rank. Darcy, meanwhile, is unsettled by a woman who challenges his expectations. Around them, the Bennet family's anxieties about marriage and money lead to misunderstandings, unsuitable attachments and revelations that change how both see the world. Jane Austen combines a compelling courtship with sharp observations of family life, reputation and class. As Elizabeth learns that first impressions can mislead, the novel asks its characters to recognise their own faults as well as those of others. It remains a witty and affectionate portrait of love earned through self-knowledge.
