Abstract
The status of Mansfield Park in Jane Austen criticism has been somewhat controversial. The critic’s sense of uneasiness with the novel has largely to do with, among others, its distance from the sparkling liveliness of Pride and Prejudice, manifested in the seemingly passive heroine, Fanny Price’s idiomatic gravity. The present essay attempts to consider such an uncomfortable ‘novelty’ of Mansfield Park, along with certain peculiarity of its heroine, as a result of remarkable effort on Austen’s part to expand representational grasp of diversity and complexity of women’s lives, which indicates Austen's continuing exploration into the issue of women’s independence and deepening interest in the ethics of love as well. By emphasizing the harshly marginalized position of Fanny Price inside the space of Mansfield Park, the essay highlights how Austen, intently concerned with women's suffering caused by social production of ‘other,’ exercises a critique of colonialist mentality and slavery. The essay also analyzes how Fanny keeps learning to discern sincerity of human heart and to acknowledge her own intense romantic desire. Calling into question the reductionist view on the ways in which the novel portrays its heroine’s ascendence from a mediocre adoptee to, in a symbolic sense, the ‘mistress of Mansfield Park,’ the essay argues that the relationship between the heroine and Mansfield Park cannot be simplified in any binary-oppositional terms; as Fanny Price and Mansfield Park struggle, engage, move, communicate, transform each other, the long accumulated historicity thus made prevents the one from being contained by the other. Fanny Price’s gradually shaped yet almost unnoticeable growing-up process, the essay points out, reveals the dilemma of expansion on one hand, and emanates on the other Austen’s respect of the idea of human growth and belief in the permanent possibility of improvement.
