The main goal of this article is to analyze Jane Austen’s 1813 novel Pride and Prejudice by detecting the elements of the historical, political and social context regarding the events related to the English militia. For this purpose, the Napoleonic Wars were briefly described, and the postulates of the New Historicism were adopted as the theoretical line of thought and they were methodologically associated with the principles of the content analysis. It was possible to conclude that Austen, different from the characteristic that is given to her works by the critic ”“ “novels for women” ”“ wrote about the politics of her time as it was demonstrated in the novel analyzed in this paperThe main goal of this article is to analyze Jane Austen’s 1813 novel Pride and Prejudice by detecting the elements of the historical, political and social context regarding the events related to the English militia.
