Pride and Prejudice is the most famous of Jane Austen's novels.
The opening line is one of the most famous in English literature -
'It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.'
First written between 1796 and 1797, this novel was initially called First Impressions, but was never published under that title. Following revisions, it was published on 28 January 1813 by the same Mr. Egerton of the Military Library, Whitehall, who had brought out Sense and Sensibility. Like both its predecessor and Northanger Abbey, it was written at Steventon Rectory.
