Genre sorts a literary work by the kind of story it tells. Wikipedia describes Pride and Prejudice as "a novel of manners" following Elizabeth Bennet's "character development," a genre built around social behavior rather than adventure or the supernatural. This dimension groups works that tell the same broad kind of story.
