At this time the novel was called First Impressions. Jane first drafted the novel in 1796 in Steventon following a visit to Rowling, her brother Edward’s home in Kent. The heroine, Elizabeth Bennet, champions the importance of marrying for mutual love and respect, rather than for wealth or status, although in the end she manages to achieve both in her own marriage to Mr Darcy.
