Did Captain Wentworth Buy Kellynch? Jane Austen's Persuasion and Regency Primogeniture Explained

At the end of Jane Austen's Persuasion, did Captain Wentworth really buy Anne Elliot's ancestral home at Kellynch? In this video, we answer this common question. And we go into the deeper reasons why families in the Regency Era used a concept called primogeniture when deciding who got to inherit their estates. We also answer an important question about Pride and Prejudice, and why Mr. Collins has a different last name than the Bennet family.
