Of all Jane Austen's novels, Pride and Prejudice holds a special place in readers' hearts as her best-loved and most intimately known work. From its famous opening sentence, the story of the Bennet family and its two unforgettable protagonists, Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, unfolds with a wit the author feared might prove 'rather too light and bright, and sparkling'. Austen's artistry shines equally in her minor characters, from the ill-matched Mr. and Mrs. Bennet to the fatuous Mr. Collins, whose proposal to Elizabeth remains one of the finest comic passages in English literature.
