More about the book
The study explores Jane Austen's portrayal of morality and behavior in "Mansfield Park" and "Persuasion," highlighting the influence of contemporary conduct books on societal expectations. Through this lens, it examines the complexities of female characters and their moral dilemmas, contrasting the earl of Chesterfield's cynical view of women with Austen's nuanced understanding of their experiences. The analysis delves into themes of reason, vanity, and the societal pressures faced by women in the context of early 19th-century England.
