Rozema claimed that her interpretation had been shaped by the work of feminist academics it certainly had little sanction from the novel.

Modern discontent with Austen's heroine has been expressed clearly enough in the two most recent film adaptations of the novel. Kingsley Amis called Fanny "a monster of complacency and pride" concealed under "a cloak of cringing self-abasement". Marilyn Butler, whose book Jane Austen and the War of Ideas did much to establish the novelist's intellectual credentials, nevertheless conceded "that Fanny is a failure is widely agreed".
"Nobody, I believe, has ever found it possible to like the heroine of Mansfield Park," declared the great critic and Austen aficionado Lionel Trilling. Even lovers of Austen's novels have their problems with Fanny Price. 114.‘It is as if Austen is daring her readers to stay with her' … Frances O'Connor as Fanny Price Photograph: Miramax/Everett /Rex 73 Devlin says that by not submitting Fanny threatens the society and proves that she alone is free (‘Mansfield Park’, Ariel, 2 35).īenjamin Whitten, Jane Austen’s Comedy of Feeling (Ankara: Hacettepe University Publications, 1974) p.
