One of the BBC s 100 Novels That Shaped Our World The best-loved book by our best-loved novelist Independent With its light and bright and sparkling dialogue, its romantic denouement and its lively heroine, Pride and Prejudice is Jane Austen s most perennially popular novel. The love story of Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy, who misjudge, then challenge and change each other, is also a novel about the search for happiness and self- knowledge in a world of strict social rules, where a woman must marry well to survive.
