There are remarkable parallels between Pride and Prejudice and Edward Gibbon Wakefield.
Jane Austen started writing P&P in 1796, the year Wakefield was born.
The villainous Wickham plots to elope to Gretna Green with the 15 year old heiress Georgiana Darcy.
The villainous Wakefield eloped to Gretna Green with the 15 year old heiress Ellen Turner.Wickham hopes to get his hands on Miss Darcy's £30,000.
Wakefield would have got £30,000 through his first wife Eliza Pattle, had she survived to her 21st birthday.Unlike Eliza and Georgiana (and Lydia Bennet), Ellen's consent was obtained unwillingly and by deception. Wakefield claimed that only by marrying him could she save her father from (completely fictional) financial ruin. The marriage was subsequently dissolved by a special act of Parliament.
Readers speculate as to what various characters' futures might have held after the end of the book. Might Wickham's have included both prison and Parliament, as it did for Wakefield?

#18Julio Tal día de 1817 fallecía #JaneAusten Adelantada a su tiempo, ‘feminista’ y reivindicativa, irónica, llena de ingenio y talento. Hace unos días volví a su casa-museo de #Chawton a renovar votos ☺️ En #Cúmulosylimbos he escrito mucho sobre ella cumulosylimbos.blogspot.com/2025/02/el-m...

La nueva #NationalPortraitGallery de Londres me ha decepcionado: no pude ver el retrato de #JaneAusten ni el de las #Brontë (prestados) y tras la renovación dan más protagonismo a fotografía y retratos modernos, restando espacio al arte ‘antiguo’. Aun así, volveré #VacacionesVerano2026

5/5 stars. If I didn't already have this on my own shelf, I would endeavour to have it included. So strange to find a story from over 200 years ago so relatable.

A sus 1400 años, la catedral de #Winchester es magnífica. Quedan azulejos originales del XII. La cripta impresiona. En el trascoro, una estatua recuerda a William Walker, buzo que (1906-1911) salvó la catedral al apuntalar los cimientos con sus manos. Y estatua de #JaneAusten #VacacionesVerano2026

In Jane Austen's novels, anyone with even a minor title is almost inevitably a buffoon and/or a villain. Her writing was aggressively anti-aristocratic, focussed on the provincial gentry (bourgeoisie).
Contemporary Austen-tribute books and series — e.g. "Regency-Core" like Bridgerton, where the leads are aristocratic lords and ladies —entirely miss the point.

Jane Austen's satire anticipated NotAllMen by over two centuries:
I will only add in justice to men, that though to the larger and more trifling part of the sex, imbecility in females is a great enhancement of their personal charms, there is a portion of them too reasonable and too well-informed themselves to desire anything more in women than ignorance.
— Northanger Abbey (1799, publ. 1817)
