Years

A previous post concluded that Pride and Prejudice is a Crisis novel that occurs in the late 18th century, during the wars happening around that time. In addition to the tone of the story and the ubiquitous redcoats, it was first drafted in 1797 when Napoleon was traversing Europe.

It turns out, though, that a search for "pride and prejudice timeline" has most scholarship accepting it as being 1811-1812. (Why search for "pride and prejudice timeline"? Because it's clear the novel occurs over about a year.) This matches the timing of the revisions done, before its publication in 1813.

And happens to be when Napoleon was again on the march. Although this time with rather less success than before.
