Such a wonderful initiative.
What I would like to revisit of Jane Austen's works? Everything!!!
But let us go with Mansfield Park.
In this day and age the morality bespoke
In the novel is neither some nor whole 😁😜
The ideas seem frivolous,
The characters worthless,
The adultery, the clergy,
The exaggerated bucolic pastorality,
All seem to echo
Mansfield Park is not even worth as retro.
Yet, something beckons, even if for just the lines
That belie age and space confines
'Selfishness must always be forgiven, you know,
For there is no hope of a cure'
More such gems in the novel lie
Reading and counter reading into Mansfield Park one can still pry :)
