Sinossi
Tutto è ordine e pace a Mansfield Park, la dimora di campagna che l’austero sir Thomas Bertram ha eletto a esempio visibile di un modello di vita improntato a riservatezza e onestà. Ma nel corso di una sua prolungata assenza, un clima di lassismo e di confusione morale si impadronisce della casa e dei suoi tre figli. Sarà la fragile e sofferente Fanny Price, parente povera dei Bertram ma stoica eroina fedele ai rigorosi principi etici dell’inflessibile capostipite, a diventare, da piccola borghese, l’erede e il sostegno della casata. Saga familiare in cui lo spirito della commedia cede a quello della moralità, il romanzo ha come tema centrale il conflitto tra stabilità e mutamento, ordine e caos, tradizione e innovazione, riflesso della crescente frattura tra campagna e città industriale, tra il vecchio mondo dell’aristocrazia rurale e la corruzione della capitale Londra.

Recensioni
I was astounded to find that many of the reviews on this site criticize this book for the main character, Fanny Price, & her timidity and morality. It is very different from Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility , whose smart, sensible heroines make the novels, but I actually enjoyed this boo Leggi tutto
"I am of a cautious temper, and unwilling to risk my happiness in a hurry." This has to be the only Austen book I felt apprehensive of reading: there is a lot of controversy around this book, to make one re-think if diving in to this would be a good idea. It turns out, at least for me, the forebo
I apologize if you were in any way affected by the recent tilting of the world off its axis. For the first time ever, I was disappointed by something by Jane Austen, and it threatened to destroy the basic functioning of the universe. Mansfield Park is just...not very good. There’s that whole romance-w Leggi tutto
I liked Fanny but Edmund is a poopoohead.
Upping my rating from 3 stars to 4 on reread. Mansfield Park isn't as easy to love as most of Jane Austen's other novels, but it has a lot of insights to offer into the personalities, strengths and weaknesses of not just Fanny, but all of the other characters who live in and around Mansfield Park, a Leggi tutto
I hated Fanny Price. I'm supposed to like her because she has a deep appreciation for nature , understands her place in society , is happy to be useful to her betters , is pained to the point of tears when anyone other than Edmund pays any attention to her, is gratingly proper , and can't walk more than Leggi tutto
So thoroughly wonderful. Every single time.
(This is usually the part where I offer abject apologies for my review's length, but I don't feel like it this time. It's long. Continued on the comments section. You have been duly notified.) Ah, Fanny Price. We meet again. Our previous meeting was…. How shall I say? Underwhelming. Unsatisfying. …La Leggi tutto
The impossible happened! I read something by Jane Austen and I didn’t give it five stars! What is the world coming to? I don’t even know who I am anymore. Though this was awfully dull. Austen has never be renowned for her fast moving plots, so I know what to expect when I go into one of her novels. Leggi tutto
