This edition is written in bold and font size 24. Jane Austen (1775-1817) was born at Steventon Rectory in Hampshire, England. One of her early writings, First Impressions, was written when she was around 21, and was sent to a publisher by her father. The novel was rejected. Some fifteen years later First Impressions was re-worked, and renamed - Pride and Prejudice. It was published in 1813. Pride and Prejudice has since been adapted for stage, screen and television many times, and continues to be as popular today as it was, when first published over two hundred years ago.
