Synopsis "Mansfield Park (in Spanish)"

Precursora destacada de la novela moderna, Jane Austen (1775-1817) se distingue por el penetrante e irónico retrato que, en su condición de mujer y escritora, realiza de la sociedad en que le tocó vivir, sus convenciones, sus mecanismos y sus consecuencias, con una sutilísima inteligencia que a menudo suele hacerlo pasar inadvertido. Centrada en la figura de la humilde y discreta Fanny Price, esta novela cuenta las muchas vicisitudes en que ésta se ve envuelta desde que a la edad de diez años va a vivir a Mansfield Park, nombre que recibe la casa de los Bertram, sus tíos ricos. Las distintas relaciones que establece con sus primos y con los diversos personajes que van apareciendo por la casa y complicando la trama, así como su evolución, con sus idas y venidas, sus avances y retrocesos, amores, rivalidades, descubrimientos y cambios de actitud, van desarrollando un relato ameno y romántico que culmina en un final feliz.

She was a British novelist who lived during the Georgian era. She was born in the rectory of Steventon (Hampshire). Her family belonged to the British gentry (rural nobility or agrarian bourgeoisie), a context she never left and in which she set all her works, always revolving around the marriage of her protagonist.

She has been portrayed in cinema on numerous occasions, sometimes faithfully reproduced, like the 1940 classic Pride and Prejudice directed by Robert Z. Leonard and starring Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier, and other times adapted to modern times, as is the case with Clueless, a loose adaptation of Emma. Other versions include Sense and Sensibility from 1995; Mansfield Park from 2000; and Pride and Prejudice in 2004 (directed by Gurinder Chadha) and in 2005 (directed by Joe Wright). However, the most faithful and perfect version of the book Pride and Prejudice to date is the series presented by the BBC starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. The interest that Jane Austen's work continues to arouse today shows the relevance of her thought and the influence she has had on subsequent literature. Her life has also been portrayed in film with the movie Becoming Jane (2007)
