In the neighborhood of the Bennet sisters -- Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Catherine, and Lydia -- appear four eligible bachelors of varying means -- Charles Bingley, Fitzwilliam Darcy, William Collins, and George Wickham -- and Mrs. Bennet sets out to ensure that none of them are much longer in want of a wife. The resulting embarrassments, confusions, tempests, and romances have enchanted readers since 1813.
