"Pride and Perversions" by Stephen Rawlings explores the nuanced sexual dynamics of Jane Austen's time. It highlights Austen's keen awareness of the sexual undercurrents present in high society, supported by contemporary records such as memoirs and divorce legislation, which illuminate the existence of these themes. The text also discusses the strict upbringing of daughters, aimed at molding them into compliant brides and safeguarding their marriage prospects by preventing deviation from societal expectations.
