Pride and Prejudice Book report
Jane Austen "Pride & Prejudice"
Pride and Prejudice, first published on 28 January 1813, has consistently been Jane
Austen's most popular novel. Austen sold the copyright for Pride and Prejudice to
Thomas Egerton. Egerton published the first edition of Pride and Prejudice in three
hardcover volumes in January. The tone is light and a little humoristic. Pride and
Prejudice is a humorous story of love and life among English gentility. At first the
book was called "First impressions" and this gives a better expression to the requests

tale of love and values in the class-conscious England of the late 18th century. It is a
story of five sisters and their lives
