The Adaptation of Jane Austen's Symbolic Setting in Patricia Rozema's Mansfield Park

Abstract

“The Adaptation of Jane Austen’s Symbolic Setting in Patricia Rozema’s Mansfield Park” explores the ways in which Jane Austen and Patricia Rozema respectively utilize symbolism of setting within their versions of Mansfield Park. Moreover, my thesis analyses how Rozema adapts and contemporarily contextualizes the instances of symbolic setting as originally written by Austen.
