"In 1999, the Canadian director Patricia Rozema made an adaptation of “Mansfield Park” that brought slavery, sexual abuse, and sexual hypocrisy out of the background of Austen’s narrative and also put words from Austen’s own letters and diaries into Fanny Price’s dialogue. It was confident, audacious, and true to Austen’s world view. In an era of historical productions that romanticized wealth and, inadvertently, empire, “Mansfield Park” was refreshingly complex. It also managed to be warmhearted: tenderly acted and directed, finding love and humor between innocents in that troubled world.” — Sarah Larson, The New Yorker
