Mansfield Park

[altariel]

Thank you to yonmei for pointing me to a very interesting article about Mansfield Park written by helenraven.

I had the usual experience with Mansfield Park, reading it as a teenager, loathing it and its heroine, and then coming back to it in 'maturity' and deciding it's Austen's best book. Although Persuasion remains my favourite.

I didn't know the director, so looked her up on IMDB - turns out she made a film which I've wondered about watching for a while (it turns up on the movie channels a lot): 'I Have Heard the Mermaids Singing' (wonder how that title attracted my attention). So now I have another good reason to watch it.
