Pride & Prejudice-fiction

The following is a list of literary adaptations of the 1813 novel Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. The first sequel to Austen's novel was Old Friends and New Fancies from 1913. In 2018 the Cincinnati Enquirer noted, "It seems that Janeites – diehard lovers of Jane Austen’s works – can’t get enough of the author’s characters",[1] although it was argued in Cosmopolitan that "our Mr. Darcy obsession needs to die."[2]
