Pride And Prejudice was published in 1813 by auther Jane Austen,it opens with the line,"it is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune,must be in want of a wife".Mrs Bennet said to Mr Bennet of the news that Netherfield Park was let at last.

As Jane Austen was writing Pride And Prejudice she declared of her heroine "i must confess that i think her as delightful a creature as ever appeared in print".

Few readers have failed to be charmed by the witty and independent spirit of Elizabeth Bennet.Her early determination to dislike Mr Darcy who is quite the most handsome and eligible bachelor in the whole of English literature - is a misjudgement only matched in folly by Darcy''s arrogant pride.

Their first impressions give way to truer feelings in a comedy profoundly concerned with happiness and how it might be achieved.
