It is perfectly natural that she should fall in love with such an honest and upright young man, but his heart is another's.įanny is the model of propriety and virtue indeed, Jane Austen wrote that her heroine Anne Elliot of "Persuasion" was too good for her, and I wonder how she managed to write Fanny Price. She is to be raised alongside her cousins, Maria and Julia Bertram, and given an education but at the age of seventeen, when her formal education ends, her lovely, tranquil character is owing not to that education or to the influence of her female cousins, but to Edmund Bertram, the second son. A mild, stirring novel with a different tone than most other Jane Austen stories.įanny Price is the oldest daughter in a large, poor family, and as an act of charity, her rich uncle and aunt remove her from her home at a young age and take her to Mansfield Park. ![]()
