Synopsis "mansfield park"

The beautiful, spacious estate of Mansfield Park is the residence of Sir Thomas and Lady Bertram, with their two daughters and two sons. They soon share their good fortune with Fanny Price, the timid, delicate niece of Lady Bertram who comes to live with them. Far from her parents' home in Portsmouth, Fanny finds her new life a bit awkward until a family theatrical production loosens the social conventions that normally govern the household. Fanny soon becomes an indispensable part of things, but when Sir Thomas is required to travel abroad, dangerous alliances threaten the family's stability. In the end, it is Fanny's quiet, earnest character that saves the day. Newly designed and typeset by Waking Lion Press.

View Author's Page

She was a British novelist who lived during the Georgian era. She was born in the rectory of Steventon (Hampshire). Her family belonged to the British gentry (rural nobility or agrarian bourgeoisie), a context she never left and in which she set all her works, always revolving around the marriage of her protagonist.

She has been portrayed in cinema on numerous occasions, sometimes faithfully reproduced, like the 1940 classic Pride and Prejudice directed by Robert Z. Leonard and starring Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier, and other times adapted to modern times, as is the case with Clueless, a loose adaptation of Emma. Other versions include Sense and Sensibility from 1995; Mansfield Park from 2000; and Pride and Prejudice in 2004 (directed by Gurinder Chadha) and in 2005 (directed by Joe Wright). However, the most faithful and perfect version of the book Pride and Prejudice to date is the series presented by the BBC starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. The interest that Jane Austen's work continues to arouse today shows the relevance of her thought and the influence she has had on subsequent literature. Her life has also been portrayed in film with the movie Becoming Jane (2007)
