| | Mansfield Park - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The main character, Fanny Price, is sent at an early age from her poor family to live with her rich uncle and aunt, Sir Thomas and Lady Bertram, at Mansfield Park. | | | However, her genuine gentleness and kindness cause this plan to backfire, and he falls in love with her. | | | She grows up with her four cousins, Tom, Edmund, Maria and Julia, but is always treated as inferior to them; only Edmund shows her real kindness. |

| | Review: Mansfield Park |
| | The scene shifts ahead several years, and life at Mansfield Park is considerably shaken by the appearance of Henry and Mary Crawford (Alessandro Nivola and Embeth Davidtz), a cosmopolitan brother and sister who arrive from London in search of marriageable prey. | | | Her reluctance only fuels his desire, but she does not trust him ("his sole interest is in being loved, not in loving [another]") and she is distracted and dismayed by the growing bond between Edmund and Mary. | | | Although Edmund is seemingly oblivious to it, Fanny has fallen in love with him, and her affection is more than that of one cousin for another. |

| | Mansfield Park |
| | Her actions throw Mansfield Park into a comic tailspin of adultery, betrayal and truth-telling, from which will emerge, among other things, a deliciously reluctant romance that slowly simmers to a union of true love. | | | When Fanny first arrives at Mansfield Park, she pours her amusing insights, deep feelings and fierce intelligence into secret letters, journals and other writings that are drawn directly from Jane Austen's teenage writing, sharing them only with Edmund. | | | Yet even as the party goes on, there are dark intimations that Mansfield Park is falling into disarray, its slave-trade wealth threatened by a new moral atmosphere. |

| | Full text and plot summary of Mansfield Park by Jane Austen |
| | Mansfield Park is highly regarded by Austen followers as a tale of character and sensibility very much along the lines of Emma and confronting similar issues of marriage and social class while acting as a serious critique of Regency values. | | | Mansfield Park tells of the departure of Sir Thomas and the moral decline of his household into flirtatious and inappropriate relationships and dubious acting in forbidden theatricals to make possible the demonstration of their illicit desires. | | | The novel is founded upon the solid and stern but kind-hearted Sir Thomas Bertram, owner of Mansfield Park. |

| | SparkNotes: Mansfield Park: Chapters 1-3 |
| | Most of the inhabitants of Mansfield Park are secretly happy to see Sir Thomas go; his daughters view him as a stern master who thwarts their girlish pleasures, and Fanny is mostly afraid of him. | | | The marriage of Sir Thomas and Lady Bertram is the kind of event that would normally conclude one of Austen's novels: a beautiful but not economically suitable girl captures the heart and eventually the hand of a nobleman, while her younger sister "settles" for a nice clergyman with a comfortable living. | | | Norris, who hasn't made it to the top herself but is the most interested in preserving the honor of Sir Thomas's family name, to continue to enjoy the glory of her own connection with Mansfield Park. |

| | [No title] |
| | Norris, on quitting the Parsonage, removed first to the Park, and afterwards to a small house of Sir Thomas's in the village, and consoled herself for the loss of her husband by considering that she could do very well without him; and for her reduction of income by the evident necessity of stricter economy. | | | She felt Edmund's kindness with all, and more than all, the sensibility which he, unsuspicious of her fond attachment, could be aware of; but that he should forego any enjoyment on her account gave her pain, and her own satisfaction in seeing Sotherton would be nothing without him. | | | Fanny soon learnt how unnecessary had been her fears of a removal; and her spontaneous, untaught felicity on the discovery, conveyed some consolation to Edmund for his disappointment in what he had expected to be so essentially serviceable to her. |

| | Mansfield Park (1999): Frances O'Connor, Johnny Lee Miller, Alessandro Nivola, Embeth Davidtz - PopMatters Film Review |
| | Fanny's letters describe life at Mansfield Park as a "quick succession of busy nothings," alleviated only by her writing rituals and alliance with her cousin Edmund (Jonny Lee Miller), youngest son of the Bertrams (Harold Pinter and Lindsay Duncan), who intends to enter the parsonage, conveniently located on the grounds of the estate. | | | And yet, at times Rozema does inject the story, set in 1806, with a '90's "sense and sensibility." The worst case of this is a sporadic digression depicting Fanny's increasing comprehension of her uncle's dealings in the Antiguan slave trade. | | | These ongoing asides seem designed as "explanation," but most of her comments are also illustrated by events on-screen. |

| | The Michigan Daily Online |
| | This year's entry in the Austen sweepstakes is "Mansfield Park," a dark work that is inexplicably being marketed as a comedy and lacks much of the brevity of "Emma," "Sense and Sensibility" or even "Pride and Prejudice." | | | As with all of Austen's novels, this one is no different in its soapy romantic plot setting the lower classes and the gentry against each other by bringing them in close contact. | | | Writer/director Rozema's innovations with an otherwise drab story nicely challenges our expectations of an Austen tale. |

| | A Calendar for Mansfield Park |
| | I preface this calendar with a summary of recent work on the novel, for this summary suggests how important it is to study the text of the book carefully before we go about to interpret events and characters as alluding to any specific people or political events in Austen's period. | | | Henry at Park next morning very early 31: 302; he shows letters to Fanny; Admiral to him, Secretary of the First Lord to Admiral's friend, Sir Charles, and Sir Charles to Admiral; he tells her of his love and begs her to marry him; comes to dine 31:302-3, 306 | | | It must be conceded that the text leaves us with the impression that Edmund bought the cross for the ball; the calendar shows him sending for it the day after William's arrival; that is, William gave Fanny the cross on Dec 11th and Edmund sent for a chain on Dec 12th. |

She is also beautiful, kind, and moral. | | | Mansfield Park has always been considered Jane Austen's most autobiographical work, and many consider it her most lifeless and her most excessively verbose. | | | Set at the beginning of the 19th century, it is the story of a poor young girl who is given by her mother to rich relatives, with the hope that she will live a better life, and to have one less mouth to feed at home. |

When her uncle thinks she's out of earshot, he tells his daughters, "she's not your equal," and he insists she live in the servants' wing to prevent her from tempting her male cousins. | | | As Fanny is a writer herself -- regaling her younger sister with lively tales of the goings on at Mansfield Park and ruminating on the business-like machinations of society marriage in pre-Victorian England -- she becomes more than just another Austen heroine. |

| | Not having read it, I can't comment on that, but whereas I enjoyed Douglas McGrath's 'Emma' and Ang Lee's 'Sense and Sensibility' (both praised as faithful to their texts), 'Mansfield Park' is certainly less successful, losing coherence but gaining stridency compared to those works. | | | from Saffron Walden, UK Jane Austen's usual themes (love, snobbery, the place of women in society) are all addressed in this film of 'Mansfield Park', but fans of the book claim that the film is unfaithful to the original. | | | In 'Emma', for example, the joy was in a precocious young heroine gradually learning that there were things she did not know; but haughty Fanny Price, the main character in this film, is always right, witty, invariably possessed of good judgment and anachronistic feminist attitudes - in other words, completely unbearable. |

| | In a letter to her brother dated 1814, Jane Austen boasted about a compliment she had received from a friend on her most recent work, Mansfield Park: "It's the most sensible novel he's ever read" (263). | | | Austen prided herself on creating literature that depicted realistic characters and honest situations, but perhaps more importantly, she strove to create fiction that was moral and instructional as well as entertaining. | | | In Mansfield Park, the answer appears blaringly before us, as we repeatedly witness sexuality and desire represented in the darkest of terms, and often resulting in the most sinister of outcomes. |
