Anyway, I've also been listening to the first part of the adaptation of Mansfield Park on BBC7. It's very good, but it reminds me why it's the only Austen I never finished. My God, Fanny Price is a whining, sanctimonious little prig, isn't she? I remember feeling exactly the same way about her when I read it, but I thought that perhaps my opinion would be different now, about fifteen years after that first reading. But no. If anything, I dislike her even more. Still, it's an excellent adaptation, and the first part will still be online until tomorrow morning (it was on last Monday) so if you'd like to listen to it you can do so here.
