What Is the Time Period of "Pride and Prejudice"?

Austen originally finished the manuscript for "Pride and Prejudice" -- originally titled "First Impressions" -- between 1796 and 1797. After a publisher rejected it, Austen put the manuscript aside. She returned to it in 1809 and made revisions. The novel was finally published in January 1813. Austen wrote four other novels: "Mansfield Park," "Emma," "Northanger Abbey" and "Persuasion." The last two novels were published in 1818, the year following Austen's death.
