Jane revised a manuscript titled "First Impressions" in 1812 and with the revised title was published as the one-volume novel "Pride and Prejudice." Undoubtedly, this is the most famous novel by the author. The plot of "Pride and Prejudice" tells the story of Elizabeth Bennet, who falls in love with Mr. Darcy - a wealthy aristocrat with an ambiguous reputation. Gradually discovering his story, first from the mouths of outsiders, then told by Darcy himself, the girl learns that it is not worth relying on gossip. The couple can happily be together when Darcy is finally cleared of all charges.  

The novel was soon published in different volumes.
