Description
-
Here we see Fanny sitting on the couch next to Lady Bertram. This scene occurs when Fanny arrived at Mansfield Park. Here she is greeted by Lady Bertram and her pet pug, with whom Lady Bertram spent more time with than her own children. The Bertrams brought Fanny to live with them when she was ten years old to help relieve some of the pressure on her mother, who had several children and very little money. This scene occurs in chapter 2. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Fanny and Lady Bertram wear the regency style dress with an empire waist. The regency period dated to the early nineteenth century (1811-1820) when George, Prince of Wales, later George IV (r. 1820-1830), reigned as regent for his mentally ill father, King George III (r. 1760-1820). The regency period is associated with the rise of neoclassicism in art and fashion.
