Join Vail Public Library for a month long celebration of Jane Austen’s “Mansfield Park.” Continuing our annual tradition, and offering the last book of this fantastic author for November's Books 'n' Bites. The heroine of the novel, "Mansfield Park," is Fanny Price, who is adopted into the household of her wealthy uncle, Sir Thomas Bertram. Soon after her arrival, Sir Thomas Bertram travels to Antigua to address estate business. Mary Crawford and her brother, Henry, arrive at Mansfield, bringing with them London glamor as well as the seductive taste for flirtation and theater that precipitates a crisis. While "Mansfield Park" appears in some ways to continue where "Pride and Prejudice" left off, it is, a much darker work, which even challenges the social norms relating to the British era of slavery.
During this evening's session, we will be joined by English Professor, Dustin Doss, M.A . Doss graduated from the University of Tulsa with a B.A. in English and History as well as Women and Gender Studies, with a focus in Victorian era literature.

Freely adapted from a novel by Jane Austen, this period drama is set in the early 1800s, as a girl named Fanny (Hannah Taylor Gordon) is being raised by loving but desperately poor parents. Wanting a better life for Fanny, they send her away to live with her aunts, high-minded Mrs. Norris (Sheila Gish) and drug-addicted Lady Bertram (Lindsay Duncan), who share an estate called Mansfield Park. Fanny joins the family at Mansfield Park, which includes Lady Bertram's husband Sir Thomas (Harold Pinter), who made his money in slaves and West Indian plantations; Sir Thomas's son Tom (James Purefoy), an alcoholic; Tom's intelligent younger brother Edmund (Jonny Lee Miller); and his two sisters, Julia (Justine Waddell) and Maria (Victoria Hamilton). Fanny soon makes friends with Edmund, though she's shown little respect by the rest of the family. In time, Fanny grows to adulthood (now played by Frances O'Connor) and gains skill and poise as a horsewoman while developing her skills as an author. When the stylish but secretive siblings Henry and Mary Crawford (Alassandro Nivola and Embeth Davidtz) arrive at Mansfield Park, romantic sparks begin to fly; the two sisters fight over Henry, while Mary is soon engaged to wed Edmund -- to the disappointment of Fanny, who has fallen in love with him. ~ Mark Deming,
