Excessively Diverting

In August 1797, finished writing (as we know ). I don't have an exact date so I picked August 10! Austen began writing it in October 1796, when she was 20, after she visited her brother Edward, and his wife, in Kent. It was originally believed to have been written in epistolary form. The novel was rejected without the publisher having seen the manuscript. 1/

The novel was renamed to P&P in 1801 when another novel named First Impressions was published that year Margaret Holford. P&P comes from a line in Cecliia by Fanny Burney, an author Austen admired. Austen revised the novel from 1811-1812 and P&P was published on January 28, 1813. It has never been out of print. 2/2
