    Jane Austen

    Austen wrote Pride and Prejudice while living at "Steventon", her father's Hampshire vicarage where she spent the first 25 years of her life.
    However, the book was not published until much later - in 1813, four years before death.  Like Austen's other novels, Pride and Prejudice is a comedy of manners that depicts the self-contained world of provincial ladies and gentlement.
    In 2003, the novel placed second in a BBC poll for the "UK's Best-Loved Book".  What book came first?  More...
