Pride and Prejudice is a delightful book that has been enjoyed by generations of readers. This makes it a true classic, a work of art with lasting value, and many lists of the books in the English language literary canon include it for that reason.

From a historical point of view, Pride and Prejudice was one of the books Jane Austen wrote that influenced literature in the direction of realistic portrayal of people and their lives. Prior to Jane Austen's work, literature tended to focus on extraordinary people who lived extraordinary lives; plots tended to be sensational, and characters tended to be unusual. Austen, however, focused on the sorts of social situations she had experienced and people like those she knew. This was a change that made her work resonate with many people.
