Description
-
Here we see Mr. And Miss Crawford upon his return to the parsonage at Mansfield. In this scene Mr. Crawford announces to Miss Mary Crawford that he intends to make Fanny fall in love with him. Mary asks why he wanted to, and he responds that he needed something to entertain him on days when he could not go out and hunt. Mr. Crawford sits at a desk, while Miss Crawford sits by the fire, reading. This scene occurs in chapter 24. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Miss Crawford wears the regency style dress with an empire waist. Mr. Crawford wears a waistcoat and tailcoat, and knickers that stop at the knee. 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.
