Pride and Prejudice is an 1813 romantic novel of manners written by Jane Austen. The novel follows the character development of Elizabeth Bennet, the dynamic protagonist of the book who learns about the repercussions of hasty judgments and comes to appreciate the difference between superficial goodness and actual goodness. Its humour lies in its honest depiction of manners, education, marriage, and money during the Regency era in England.

What an opening into English 19th Century romance! This novel shows above all the importance of not judging someone too quickly, and the overpowering nature of love above social class, societal expectation or even pride. I cannot recommend this book enough.

I've probably read this book about 10 times through my life. It's such a great story, and a really charming insight into an older time. The details, the love story, and the heartbreak all keep me coming back to re-read every couple years. There's also a movie, so if you don't want to read the book... you can always just watch the movie that was really well made.
