from the heyday of Royalty and Nobility. One of
the most significant of these was the tendency to
marry for money. A person sought a partner based
on the dowry receivable and their allowance. This
process went both ways: a beautiful woman might be
able to snag a rich husband, or a charring and
handsome man could woo a rich young girl. In these
marriages, money was the only consideration. Love
was left out, with the thought that it would

Jane Austen Novels Jane Austen Austen's
783 words
"Miss Austen was surely a great novelist. What she
did, she did perfectly. Her work, as far as it
goes, is faultless. She wrote of the times in
which she lived, of the class of people with which
she associated, and in the language which was
usual to her as an educated lady. Of romance, --
what we generally mean when we speak of romance --
she had no tinge. Heroes and heroines with
wonderful adventures there are none in her novels.
Of great criminals and hidden crimes she tells us
nothing. But sh...

She would have been considered delicate, and
people would not have abused her. But this example
is extremely obvious, and you must look more in
depth to find things that are more insightful. In
