| Why it’s on the list | Austen’s comedy of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy misjudging each other, over a hard economic fact: the Bennet estate is entailed away from five daughters, so marriage is their only instrument of security. It works as training in evidence — almost every plot turn follows from someone believing a confident account before checking it. |
