As the film industry's recent flurry of attention to her work proves, Jane Austen's characters and stories have a rare power to endure, and nowhere is that more evident than in Mansfield Park. Austen's heroine Fanny Price leaves her modest family to be brought up by Sir Thomas Bertram at his estate, Mansfield Park. In the ensuing drama of misalliances and courtships, Austen confronts and challenges modern notions of "the good life, " of religion, art and relations between the sexes. 4 cassettes.
