The events of Pride and Prejudice take place in England in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Austen provides an excellent social critique of her peers, exposing the damaging social norms. More precisely, the events take place between 17. Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is set in 19th century England, during which she wrote the novel.
