Mansfield Park

The 1999 film adaptation of Mansfield Park doesn’t quite work, but then, for many of us, neither does the book. Why is this Jane Austen novel so problematic for us?

In the wake of a new theatrical version of Emma and the U.S. broadcast of new series Sanditon earlier this year, 2020 has proven a pretty great year to be a Jane Austen fan. And with everything going on in the world right now, there may still be no better time to turn to Austen’s works for some much-needed escape.
