I also love Persuasion. It's the Somerset novel (I now live in Somerset) and it has some great themes. I have adapted it as a play and hope to produce/direct it one day.
Sounds great! I’ve never seen a theatre production but she is of course much adapted for television and the movies. Pamela Byrne wrote a book about that.
She doesn’t show disobedience at the theatre etc when the others do and she confirms to courtship norms and is against the landscape reforms happening elsewhere so she’s pretty conservative but without being a total pushover. Also her challenges to him directly are implied more than stated strong though they are. Agree though she’s brave and under rated! Yes perhaps my favourite too.
Mansfield Park is undoubtedly Austen`s masterpiece. Thank you for your insightful essay.
So glad you enjoyed it. I agree, much my favourite
