Were their books and other contemporaries at the time, just chick-lit with 19th century prose?

Pride and Prejudice is the quintessential chick-lit. Every chick romance ever is Pride and Prejudice in another coat.
Wuthering Heights was okay.

If anything, Pride and Prejudice is also the proto-anime romcom. The plot is about two tsunderes falling for eachother, afterall.

Wuthering Heights is more of a cope-and-seethe-lit. Just shitty people being miserable and not getting what they want.
