《傲慢与偏见》，原书名叫《第一印象》，出版于1813年，是19世纪英国小说家简·奥斯汀的代表作。小说讲述了乡绅之女伊丽莎白·班内特的爱情故事，反映了19世纪英国乡绅阶层的礼节、成长、教育、道德、婚姻的情态，被英国著名小说家和戏剧家毛姆列为世界十大小说之一。在奥斯汀之前，18世纪后期的英国小说中有一股女性感情潮流，充满伤心流泪的感伤情调和为忧郁而忧郁的嗜好。《傲慢与偏见》克服了这种倾向而接近于现代生活。小说中运用喜剧的手法表达对生活的严肃批评，探索女主人公从恋爱到结婚中自我发现的心理过程。
Pride and Prejudice is a novel of manners by Jane Austen, first published in 1813. The story follows the main character Elizabeth Bennet as she deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of early 19th-century England. Elizabeth is the second of five daughters of a country gentleman living near the fictional town of Meryton in Hertfordshire, near London.Though the story is set at the turn of the 19th century, it retains a fascination for modern readers, continuing near the top of lists of "most loved books" such as The Big Read. It has become one of the most popular novels in English literature and receives considerable attention from literary scholars. Modern interest in the book has resulted in a number of dramatic adaptations and an abundance of novels and stories imitating Austen's memorable characters or themes. To date, the book has sold some 20 million copies worldwide.
