About This Novel
"Pride and Prejudice" is Jane Austen's masterpiece. It uses daily life as the material. It goes against the content and pretentious writing methods of sentimental novels popular in the society at that time. It vividly reflects the conservative and closed-off British rural life and worldly conditions from the end of the 18th century to the beginning of the 19th century. "Pride and Prejudice", a novel of social style, not only attracted a large number of readers at the time, but still gives readers a unique artistic enjoyment today. Although Austen's works have been compared to "two-inch ivory sculptures", she reflected the various social conditions at that time through the daily conversations and interactions between gentlemen and ladies. She used humorous language to satirize the phenomena of profit-seeking and vanity, and used comic scenes to mock people's stupidity, selfishness, snobbery, blind confidence and other despicable and ridiculous weaknesses.
