A gentle reminder I curate a list of #JaneAusten / #Bronte steaming TV/Movies/Mini-series here: https://exitpursuedbyabear.net/streaming-jane-austen-and-the-brontes/. It's updated quarterly! I also link to the US streaming service it is on. I don't get a kickback for this, rather, I'm a librarian who loves to organize. 😂

“Published after Pride and Prejudice, #MansfieldPark presents a very different heroine from that of Austen’s previous success. Fanny Price is often measured against Elizabeth Bennet, consequently being looked upon as inferior.”

(That other website is down, and I'd like to keep a record of this #thread somewhere, so I can go back to it.)

I'd argue that #EdwardSaid 's "#JaneAusten and #Empire" is quite pedagogical in weaving in both #textualanalysis and description and #culturalhistory (and other kinds of #history).

What's peculiar about it is that he is being defensive: he will be linking a beloved, canonical author (Jane Austen) with a violent, execrable history of domination, so he better back up not only what he is saying, but also what he is doing. To do that, he anchors #context in a careful reading of the #text. To say that #MansfieldPark is not about #colonialism may be right, but while colonialism "is ... incidental, referred to only in passing" (so you need to read carefully to notice), it is also "absolutely crucial to the action" (so you should want to parse it if you want to get the novel).

So I have just re-read #MansfieldPark.

It seems to be many people's least favourite book by #JaneAusten and the same is true for me even though I like it more now.

However, IMHO the biggest problem is not that it is long (it is), or that Fanny is boring (upon the reread I like her more and more), or that there are no interesting characters (there are), or that is is more serious than her other books (true) - no, the biggest problem is Edmund.

To sum it up - Fanny deserved better.
