Mansfield Park |
Surely everyone must have read Mansfield Park. I had – but a long time ago. Coming to it once again, I found that I had missed a great deal. There was no boredom or impatience for me. I was drawn into this polite world where emotions and tensions swirled. I met characters I could recognise, whose voices I could hear (no, I have not seen the film). Dismiss Austen at your peril – a mistress of her art. (Ferelith Hordon - bwl 107 Winter 2023) |
