A proposito di questo titolo

Jane Austen’s novels are often seen as romantic comedies of manners. But beneath the witty dialogue is a radical economic treatise. This episode analyzes the marriage plot as a high-stakes financial negotiation in a world where women were legal property. We’ll follow the pound notes and entailments to see how Austen’s heroines navigate a system designed to impoverish them. You’ll learn to read the real drama: not in the proposal, but in the settlement that secures a woman’s only path to independence.
