Mansfield Park: Silence, Place, and Price

S1 E6: Mansfield Park is perhaps the most controversial of Austen’s finished novels. Meet Fanny Price, the unassuming heroine at the center of this more serious entry in Austen’s oeuvre, and see why Austen’s third novel is the most divisive among readers. Through Fanny’s travails and quiet rebellion, Austen would create a complex story that examines the dynamics of family, power, work, and gender.
