Write a critical essay that originally analyzes what Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice has to say about “the nature of truth, human understanding, and knowledge of the world.”
“The emergence of the novel in English during the eighteenth century coincided with renewed enquiry into the nature of truth, human understanding, and knowledge of the world, while the new literary form itself – so dangerous and yet so full of possibility – provoked vigorous discussion over the relationship between fiction and truth, art and nature, entertainment and instruction.”
