It was definitely of its time.

Most of us will just ignore these parts (nobody's perfect, expecting that from a past author is a high bar, and would have considerably reduced the amount of entertainment available), but I also see an option for us to have alternative versions where those bits are either reworked or removed.

The original would still be there, and there would be a "modernized" version that's easier to digest for the newer generations.

As a bonus, the modernised versions would be back under copyright for another century.
