Pride and Prejudice stands as Jane Austen’s most celebrated novel, beginning with one of literatures most iconic lines “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” Originally penned between 1796 and 1797 under the title First Impressions, it underwent significant revisions before finally being published on January 28, 1813, by Mr. Egerton of the Military Library, Whitehall, who also published Sense and Sensibility. Like its predecessor and Northanger Abbey, this timeless classic was crafted at Steventon Rectory.

In Regency England the eldest son usually inherited almost everything—while his younger brothers, left with little inheritance, had to make a crucial decision: What should they do to make an independent living?

Why is Jane Austen so phenomenally popular? Why do we go back to Pride and Prejudice again and again? Why do we delight in Emma's mischievous schemes? Why do we care that Anne Elliot of Persuasion suffers? We care because the human brain is a social brain. And Austen's characters are so believable, that for many of us, they are not just imaginary beings, but friends whom we know and love. We see ourselves and others reflected in Austen's work.
