Hahaha that's funny. And it's a great point but also one that has an alternate reading. That the concern with inheritance and legacy was due to the erosion of such things beginning in the 19th C

The Death of Ivan Ilych, Cossacks, A Hero of Our Time, Taras Bulba, etc. Might just be an English lit thing.

Dostoyevsky. Twain. British writers were obsessed with it probably due to the rise of merchant fortunes and explosion and then decline of the old landed aristocracy with the Corn Laws and their repeal.

Heart of Darkness

It's mentioned, in passing, in "Thw Scarlet Letter" and "Huckleberry Finn" but it's hardly the major theme of either of the two iconic American novels of that century

And doesn't play a major role in "Les Miserables" or "Mme Bovary", I think. Not mentioned at all in "Musketeers". "Count of Monte Cristo" might count as an inheritance, but it would be stretching the point somewhat
