Nearly everyone in Mansfield Park spends the book making faulty assumptions about other people. It's good to try to read Mansfield Park without preconceptions or assumptions, which is actually one of the major themes of the book. So what's going on with this novel? It seems downright un-Austen at times. In addition, Mansfield Park explores some serious issues (like religion, slavery, politics) much more directly than Austen's previous works. Mansfield Park's heroine isn't nearly as charming and spunky. The first of its relatively funny traits (for Austen) is that the heroine's main rival in Mansfield Park seems to a lot in common with the beloved heroine of Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth Bennett. This novel was a pretty big departure from Austen's other works, and it was a bit of a shock coming after the much more light-hearted Pride and Prejudice, which was published just one year prior. Hitting the shelves in 1814, Mansfield Park was the third novel that Jane Austen published and the fourth that she completed. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() J o C a t l i n g is Lecturer in German Literature and Language at the University of East Anglia.
