Under ===Genre and style=== the quoted passage from Pride and Prejudice has "... and your selfish disdain of the feelings of others, were such as to form that the groundwork of disapprobation". The word "that" is a typo. It should read "and your selfish disdain of the feelings of others, were such as to form the groundwork of disapprobation".— Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.138.49.42 (talk • contribs) 07:58, 4 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
