Pride and Prejudice is a novel by Jane Austen, first published in 1813. The story revolves around Elizabeth Bennet, addressing issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage within the landed gentry society of British Regency period. Elizabeth is the second daughter among the five daughters of Mr. Bennet, a country gentleman residing in Longbourn.

The narrative unfolds in England during the early 19th century, focusing on Mr. and Mrs. Bennet's five unmarried daughters and their interactions with two newcomers in their neighborhood: the affluent and eligible Mr. Bingley, and his status-conscious companion, the even wealthier and more eligible Mr. Darcy. While Bingley shows admiration towards the eldest Bennet daughter, Jane, Darcy exhibits disdain for local society and frequently conflicts with the energetic second daughter of the Bennets, Elizabeth.

It has emerged as one of the most widely read novels in English literature, with sales exceeding 20 million copies and attracting significant attention from literary experts. Additionally, it has laid the foundation for prevalent archetypes found in contemporary literature. The enduring appeal of this work has spawned numerous dramatic adaptations along with a plethora of novels and stories that emulate Austen's iconic characters and themes.
