who owns the rights to pride and prejudice?
thomas egerton
austen made significant revisions to the manuscript for "first impressions" between 1811 and 1812. as nothing remains of the original manuscript, we are reduced to conjecture. from the large number of letters in the final novel, it is assumed that "first impressions" was an epistolary novel. she later renamed the story "pride and prejudice" around about 1811/1812, which she sold the rights to publish the manuscript to thomas egerton for £110 (). in renaming the novel, austen probably had in mind the "sufferings and oppositions" summarised in the final chapter of fanny burney's "cecilia", called "pride and prejudice", where the phrase appears three times in block capitals. it is possible that the novel's original title was altered to avoid confusion with other works. in the years between the completion of "first impressions" and its revision into "pride and prejudice", two other works had been published under that name: a novel by margaret holford and a comedy by horace smith.
