One of the most beloved English novels, it is the story of Elizabeth Bennet, Mr. Darcy, and the complicated nature of love in nineteenth-century upper class England. Pride and Prejudice, an early Victorian novel of manners, centres around the budding relationship between Bennet and Darcy, neither of which fully meet the expectations of a man or a woman in their time. It has inspired numerous screen adaptations, including a 2005 film starring Keira Knightley, and a 1995 BBC mini-series starring Colin Firth, and various literary spin-offs, including the novel Longbourn by Jo Baker and the tongue-in-cheek Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
