Synopsis "Mansfield Park (in Spanish)"

Hará cosa de treinta años, miss María Ward, de Huntingdon, con una dote de siete mil libras nada más, tuvo la buena fortuna de cautivar a sir Thomas Bertram, de Mansfield Park, condado de Northampton, viéndose así elevada al rango de baronesa, con todas las comodidades y consecuencias que entraña el disponer de una hermosa casa y una crecida renta. Todo Huntingdon se hizo lenguas de lo magníficamente bien que se casaba, y hasta su propio tío, el abogado, admitió que ella se encontraba en inferioridad por una diferencia de tres mil libras cuando menos, en relación con toda niña casadera que pudiera justamente aspirar a un partido como aquél. Tenía dos hermanas que bien podrían beneficiarse de su encumbramiento; y aquellos de sus conocidos que consideraban a miss Ward y a miss Frances tan hermosas como miss María no tenían reparos en predecirles un casamiento casi tan ventajoso como el suyo. Pero en el mundo no existen ciertamente tantos hombres de gran fortuna como lindas mujeres que los merezcan.

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)
