Mansfield Park
Jane AUSTEN
Wordsworth, London
Bom estado

Mansfield Park was the first novel that Jane Austens produced after a ten year hiatus. It represents a more mature style dealing with darker themes and a moralistic tone. It is quite a different novel than many of her followers have come to expect and seems at odds with her first two published novels Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice which were written as a young woman and reflect a lighter, more energetic and romantic stories.
The strongest adversarial criticism of the novel is with its heroine Fanny Price who has been tagged as weak, timid and ineffectual. Opinions on Fanny vary greatly and can ignite heated debate within readers of the novel. Other problems often lamented are with the hero Edmund Bertram who is said to be unbelievably too good and overly moralistic. Even though love and marriage is the motivation of many of the young people in the novel, it is a cold calculating affair with little romance and few happy moments. The reader is often as much at odds with the couples and they are with each other!
