『맨스필드 파크』의 사회상

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Mansfield Park presents a serious moral vision of Jane Austen. In this novel Austen severely criticizes the destructive effect of urban civilization on rural life. The Bertram children are seduced by the attractiveCrawford brother and sister from London. They very nearly bring total ruin to the world of Mansfield Park, home of the Bertram family. Only Fanny, the heroine, preserves her moral principles intact. In spite of loneliness, neglect and insult, she resists the great pressure to join the action that violates moral principles. Through her resistance she preserves her true self and Mansfield's traditional values and marries Edmund. Unlike in Pride and Prejudice, in Mansfield Park a separated ideal world like Pemberley is not offered. Instead, the world of Mansfield Park is rebuilt morally and then it has the possibility of the ideal life.
