"'It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife'"
These are the legendary opening lines of, arguably, Jane Austen's finest work, Pride and Prejudice. It is primarily centered around the ageless romance of its heroine, Elizabeth Bennet, and Mr Darcy. However, behind this lies the society of Meryton, a small town set in the picturesque countryside of Hertfordshire, England.
Change is fast approaching with the arrival of the Bingleys and, most notably, a regiment of militia from the North. Faces new and old are brought together in a society of gossip and scandal. Secrets long kept will be revealed and truths unveiled...

Set in 1797, the year Pride and Prejudice was first drafted, Universally Acknowledged explores the society in which the Bennets, Bingleys and Darcys lived, primarily through the town of Meryton. With a wider array of characters, the focus is not so much on the upper classes, but also the lower classes, the world outside Longbourn.
