Summary
MansfieldPark ocupa el centro exacto de la producción novelística de Jane Austen。 Asentada como autora tras los éxitos de Sentido y sensibilidad y Orgullo y prejuicio， exhibe un estilo propio y reconocible， basado en el fino uso dela ironía y del retrato de personajes， pero ya se perciben el desencanto y la madurez de Persuasión。
El personaje de Fanny es uno de los más fascinantes y complejos de toda la obra deAusten， y dota a la novela de una profundidad que parece anticipar el realismo y el naturalismo de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX。 Todo ello hace de MansfieldPark un clásico de las letras inglesas que bien merece una relectura。

I listened to the audible version narrated by Emma Thompson。 It’s fantastic！ Emma added so much to my appreciation for Jane Austen’s humor。

The thrill of reading feminist themes and ideals from 1814！ An interesting insight into class and privilege， andtl the priorities and concerns woven through English social structure。

This is a masterpiece， perfectly depicting what is most natural in human nature， selfishness and self-centered decision making in particular。 These qualities are perfectly depicted in all Austen's beautifully developed characters except in her heroine， Miss Fanny Price， who embodies the beauty of selflessness。 Fanny has earned a place in my heart， she is unquestionably my favorite Jane Austen charater。 I LOVE HER！ She suffers and sacrifices her own preferences and desires for those of others。 Th This is a masterpiece， perfectly depicting what is most natural in human nature， selfishness and self-centered decision making in particular。 These qualities are perfectly depicted in all Austen's beautifully developed characters except in her heroine， Miss Fanny Price， who embodies the beauty of selflessness。 Fanny has earned a place in my heart， she is unquestionably my favorite Jane Austen charater。 I LOVE HER！ She suffers and sacrifices her own preferences and desires for those of others。 Throughout the book she displays the rare art of self-forgetfulness and I am absolutely inspired！“Her heart was made for love and kindness， not for resentment。" And she had every reason to be resentful。 Her gentle character contrasts with that of her cousins who were raised very differently。 Austen allows the reader inside the head and heart Fanny's cousins' father， Sir Thomas Bertram， as he regretfully reflects on his own failures in the parenting of his shallow daughters who。。。"had never been properly taught to govern their inclinations and tempers， by that sense of duty which can alone suffice。 They had been instructed theoretically in their religion， but never required to bring it into daily practice。 To be distinguished for elegance and accomplishments—the authorised object of their youth—could have had no useful influence that way， no moral effect on the mind。 He had meant them to be good， but his cares had been directed to the understanding and manners， not the disposition; and of the necessity of self-denial and humility， he feared they had never heard from any lips that could profit them。”This remarkable novel causes a thoughtful reader to acknowledge the benefit of suffering， hardship and deprivation。 BUT this is not what feels naturally good， espeically in the role of parenting for our children。 We only want them to be "happy" and to NOT suffer。 We often deceive ourselves into assuming this as a primary objective。 This book and the character of Fanny in particular has caused me to evaluate on a whole new level， the actual benefit of sturggle and learning the art of self-forgetfulness。 。。。more

The first 400 pages might be my favourite Jane Austen book。 I love the character work， the use of free indirect discourse and that though these characters might represent the most sullied， indulgent and depressing ensemble， they are my favourite。 I don't think I can say I hate or even dislike any， even Mrs Norris with her cruelty and prejudice I can wager conpassion for。 I understand the motives and the insecurities behind all too much。 We never get a scene where Lydia realizes the horror of her The first 400 pages might be my favourite Jane Austen book。 I love the character work， the use of free indirect discourse and that though these characters might represent the most sullied， indulgent and depressing ensemble， they are my favourite。 I don't think I can say I hate or even dislike any， even Mrs Norris with her cruelty and prejudice I can wager conpassion for。 I understand the motives and the insecurities behind all too much。 We never get a scene where Lydia realizes the horror of her lot， that she was a fifteen year old child seduced and manipulated by a 28 year old man and then paid off to stay。。we see the effects of neglect and of desire of attention in her actions but afterwards are presented with her still haughty and silly， and taken this at face value。 Most of the characters are given compassion， are given sorrow even in their sins and in their fates。 And for that it gave me much more love and connection to anyone。 Most notably I could compare the Bertrams to Elliots and see the amount of care we are given to the internal characters who often overlook our protagonist。 I have a lot more thoughts， especially that I think she should have ended up with the other guy。 I will return with hopefully more conclusive thoughts。 。。。more

Less romance， and more satire and social commentary。 I didn’t appreciate this one much in my early teens， but now found it humorous and wise。

Least favorite Jane Austen book （so far）。 It was written well， but nothing happened until the last like 5 chapters。

i really though this was going to be one where the protagonist doesn't end up married and i was buzzing but- nope she marries her cousin。 it's 1800 so we'll forgive them。 i really though this was going to be one where the protagonist doesn't end up married and i was buzzing but- nope she marries her cousin。 it's 1800 so we'll forgive them。 。。。more

I finally got the chance to listen to this book on audible。 I hadn’t read this since I was in high school and I was surprised to absolutely love it！ I found it extremely boring when I was younger， but could relate to so much in it as an adult。 It always amazes me how timeless Janes writing remains！

One of my most profound reading experiences， I've had in about a million years。 I slowly read this one， savouring every word， thought and detail。 I was very hesitant going into this one， and I had put it aside for years on my TBR- simply because anytime this one is mentioned within the Jane Austen canon， this book in my experience received a lot of bad rep， or it was simply an afterthought - 'not up there with P&P， Emma and S&S。。 but how wrong I was！ This book is elegant， thoughtful， quiet - it One of my most profound reading experiences， I've had in about a million years。 I slowly read this one， savouring every word， thought and detail。 I was very hesitant going into this one， and I had put it aside for years on my TBR- simply because anytime this one is mentioned within the Jane Austen canon， this book in my experience received a lot of bad rep， or it was simply an afterthought - 'not up there with P&P， Emma and S&S。。 but how wrong I was！ This book is elegant， thoughtful， quiet - it is gentle poetry， immersed upon a spring afternoon， whilst one is sipping from a teacup and patting a pug。 This book made me chuckle out loud upon several occasions， and sadly I could relate to Fanny Price， immensely。 And quite honestly。。 gah！ Henry Crawford！ GAH！ 5 stars for the shy， quiet and contemplative Fanny Price， one of my favourite Austen heroines！ :） 。。。more

Why is this so slept on by the Austenites ？？ Ok yes the cousin marriage is skeevy even for 18th century English terms， but truly is a remark that it was Fanny’s only salvation in that society。 Dense on internal reflection & correspondence to create some scathing political commentary。 Film adaptations do no justice。

So Fanny is the most frustrating Austen heroine for me because she so unassertive， but I finally get it。 Austen puts her in such a tough predicament where she is stuck awkwardly between classes and has to chose whether marriage compromising her morals is worth retaining connection to the people she’s grown to see as her family。 The characters surrounding her bring their own complexities as well。 It’s still not my favorite Austen book， but I appreciate the way Austen set Fanny up to make her own So Fanny is the most frustrating Austen heroine for me because she so unassertive， but I finally get it。 Austen puts her in such a tough predicament where she is stuck awkwardly between classes and has to chose whether marriage compromising her morals is worth retaining connection to the people she’s grown to see as her family。 The characters surrounding her bring their own complexities as well。 It’s still not my favorite Austen book， but I appreciate the way Austen set Fanny up to make her own life altering decisions。 Long book， but I did enjoy it！ 。。。more

3。5 stars。 （4。5 stars without the cousin love - I don't know that it's fair to dock Austen a point for the cousins ending up together， since that was FAR too common in her time， but Edmund and Fanny acted like siblings towards each other and I personally can't get past the incestual feeling of it all）。Austen's sense of humor and ability to create complex and human characters absolutely *shines* in this novel。 It moves a little slowly at the beginning， but becomes quite the page-turner。 Fanny's a 3。5 stars。 （4。5 stars without the cousin love - I don't know that it's fair to dock Austen a point for the cousins ending up together， since that was FAR too common in her time， but Edmund and Fanny acted like siblings towards each other and I personally can't get past the incestual feeling of it all）。Austen's sense of humor and ability to create complex and human characters absolutely *shines* in this novel。 It moves a little slowly at the beginning， but becomes quite the page-turner。 Fanny's aunts （particularly Mrs。 Norris） are fools and Austen crafts and uses them perfectly。 。。。more

Dare I say it， it was a tad long winded。 This novel could have been shortened quite a bit and still give us a good story。This broke my heart， yet managed to repair it and put it back into place。It was a great study of human nature。 But to me， it was sometimes too much like a sermon or a school lesson。 In those moments I was bored。 But between them， it was really great， even marvelous。
