Questão 3171937

1 Life in Regency England did not encourage freedom

of expression, and penalties for speaking against society’s

status quo were high. Women in particular lacked most legal

4 protections, including owning property and making legal

and financial decisions in their own names. In a uniquely

insightful and subversive style, Jane Austen’s novels

7 address these and many other sociopolitical issues:

primogeniture, entailment, and inheritance; royalty, wealth,

poverty, and social class; adultery and illegitimacy;

10 colonialism and slavery; and equal rights.
