Am reading my 5th Jane Austen novel: Mansfield Park, and oh man. I identify SO HARD with Fanny. Not sure what that says about me.

(Narrator: She knows EXACTLY what that says about her.)

"Soon after the second breakfast, Edmund bade them goodbye for a week, and mounted his horse for Peterborough, and then all were gone." (Ch. 29)

Jane Austen uses Elizabeth Inchbald’s Lovers’ Vows to explore the social boundaries, both public and private, of Regency England.

I think it might be fun to start a band called The Freaks of a Cold-blooded Vanity just to see who gets it.

Mansfield Park

I just finished Mansfield Park (1814) by Jane Austen. So good! This was a re-read for me. I started it last month, reading just two chapters a day. I so enjoyed reading Emma this way for Jane Austen July that I decided to keep going. (Indeed, I still feel this way; I think I will start re-reading Persuasion tomorrow!) Mansfield Park is probably Austen's least romantic novel and perhaps for this reason is most people's least favorite.

Why ‘Mansfield Park’ Is Jane Austen’s Boldest, Riskiest Novel

“Mansfield Park” continues to complicate the writer’s legacy 250 years after her birth. Lauren Groff explains how the novel’s dark themes and complex ironies help keep Austen weird.
