Charlotte Lucas was the eldest daughter of Sir William & Lady Lucas. They had several children, most noticeably beside Charlotte was her sister Maria, who with Sir William and Elizabeth went to Rosings Park to join Mr and Mrs Collins for 6 weeks.Sir William was by no means rich, and by Charlotte's marrying Mr Collins it enabled her sisters to "come out" early in the hope of finding husbands. It was not Mr Darcy with 5 daughters it was Mr Bennet, Entailment went back to the 13th century in England, and simply put it was to stop an estate being split up upon the death of the owner, by deeding the property to his nearest eldest male relation. Who got the lot. Should the land owner have 5 sons, the property would NOT be split amongst them; the eldest son got everything and his younger brothers nothing and had to rely on the largesse of their elder brother or marry a rich heiress. Mr Darcy was the only son of a very rich old non titled family, so rich in fact he married above his station in life to the Lady Ann, a daughter of an earl and Lady Catherine's sister. Mr Fitzwilliam Darcy, inherited all of his father estate, however his father did leave a fortune of £30,000.00.00d to his daughter Georgiana. A fortune of this size would ensure that she would attract a gentleman of high quality, possibly titled or ennobled but pecuniarly embarrassed. I hope this helps Olivia Renneker in her understanding this work. She may if she wishes e-mail with any concerns she may have - Brian Smith Wed, 01 Jun 2011 17:07:48 +0100 http://www.austenfans.com/Login.html#comment-881 Hi! I am currently an undergrad Enlgish student hoping to pursue a graduate degree in 19th Century British Literature. This semester I am taking a class on Jane Austen. For my critical essay I am writing a paper on Pride & Prejudice and the different variations that have been published based on it. I love the different versions that I have read; however, some scholars believe that these remakes of Austen's novel are actually "basterdizing" Jane Austen. I looking for feedback from Austen lovers and whether you agree or disagree. Also, what is it about Pride and Prejudice that inspires others so many continuations and variations? I know what my opinion is but I want to get feedback from others for my essay. Thanks! - Kimberly Allen Sun, 27 Mar 2011 08:59:19 +0100 http://www.austenfans.com/Login.html#comment-447 I wish for Christmas that who's ever in charge of this website would answer my request to be REMOVED from this website and to STOP receiving ANY and ALL emails. I don't recall what my login was or is. Please help me out here, please!

In Miss Austin's book, Elizabeth's friend married Mr. Collins because she felt she was a burden to her parents (thereby inferring they were not well off). In Ms. Berdoll's book, her father was successful in business. Since she was an only child, that could not have strained her parents finances. Why would she then have married Mr. Collins? 2. I obviously don't understand "entailed property". Mr. Darcy is not a duke, earl baron baronette, or viscount. Why then couldn't his property be left to his daughters? His sister inherited a lot and so did Lady Catherine's daughter. Guess it is a good thing I live in the US. - Olivia Renneker Mon, 08 Nov 2010 07:50:06 +0100 http://www.austenfans.com/Login.html#comment-239 I highly recommend that ALL fans of Jane Austen's writings read "Reading Jane Austen" by Mona Scheuermann. I am reading this, and am almost finished, and it has helped me appreciate and further understand Jane's writings and the importance of morals and right conduct/behavior during the Regency era in which Jane Austen lived and wrote. - Daniel Mendell Thu, 28 Jan 2010 21:08:44 +0100 http://www.austenfans.com/Login.html#comment-53 xD I love this site and I'm very glad to receive all this information about Austen's novels. - Janina Schäfer Wed, 21 Oct 2009 10:01:00 +0100 http://www.austenfans.com/Login.html#comment-51 I just joined and this site is awesome! - Richelle Goodwin Mon, 14 Sep 2009 18:14:59 +0100 http://www.austenfans.com/Login.html#comment-50 I have just found this site and I'm thrilled to see what it contains, especially the information on Austen sequel writers as I am an avid reader of them, both good and bad. - Bernadette Aitken Mon, 13 Jul 2009 01:50:24 +0100 http://www.austenfans.com/Login.html#comment-43 wow... this site is great... love it! - anya lofamia Mon, 27 Apr 2009 22:05:05 +0100 http://www.austenfans.com/Login.html#comment-41 I,m so happy Iwas in the UK before week and bought 2 books by JA I like this site too much - Vesela Marinova Sun, 26 Apr 2009 14:51:23 +0100 http://www.austenfans.com/Login.html#comment-34 The comment screen on JA Sequels, Pemberley Manor, won't accept a comment from me. - Kathryn L Nelson Mon, 06 Apr 2009 07:30:19 +0100 http://www.austenfans.com/Login.html#comment-31 I'm having a wonderfully exciting week.
