No other novel of Jane Austen’s has stimulated such diverse interpretations as Mansfield Park and no other heroine such divergent responses as Fanny Price. Reconciling these differences begins with recognising that this novel presents Austen’s deepest probe of the patriarchal family itself. In the other major novels, because of the father’s absence or ineffectuality, the daughters are partly insulated from the worst effects of direct patriarchal rule. But in Mansfield Park these effects are fully and fairly examined, and we observe the faults in the family structure at the heart of the patriarchal order.
