Analysis of MANSFIELD PARK by JANE AUSTEN | What do Lady Bertram’s letters and her epistolary style reveal about her character & ‘polite’ Regency society?
Analysis and close reading of Lady Bertram’s letters from Mansfield Park to Fanny Price in Portsmouth about Tom Bertram’s illness. What does Lady Bertram’s epistolary style – her “very creditable, common-place, amplifying style” – reveal about her selfishness, emotional detachment, and intellectual dullness? How does Jane Austen draw on the 18th century ‘polite’ habit of common-placing? How does Jane Austen, in her representation of Lady Bertram, mock bad letter writing and bad letter writers? (Particularly by those who enjoy trading in news (especially bad news) as a way merely to occupy their time, and how Jane Austen compares the formal language of affectedness (in Lady Bertram’s first letter to Fanny Price) with “the language of real feeling” (in Lady Bertram’s second letter to Fanny Price).)
