You are being unfair OP and smidge elitist. Austin's books were popular novels during her time. Just like popular books today are written with a language that is easy for us to understand with little references to things we recognize or events that we know so were her books. It makes the reader feel more engaged and it did then too. But calling out readers for not getting all the inside jokes isn't right. It can't be hard to understand if you don't know the time period and all the little inside jokes. It would be like me judging you for not understanding Beowulf in middle english.

BTW I adore Austen, the Brontes, and even Beowulf in middle english for what little I can translate. Useless English Lit degrees UNITE!
