Description

Here we see Fanny and Edmund walking through the grounds of Mansfield Park. Edmund was absent from Mansfield when Mr. Crawford proposed to Fanny, and she refused. Mr. Crawford said he would continue to try and convince Fanny to marry him, despite her refusal. Sir Thomas wanted Edmund to talk to Fanny and try and convince her to marry Mr. Crawford because it would be an advantageous marriage for her. Edmund here walks with Fanny trying to get her to tell him why she refused to marry Mr. Crawford. She finally confessed that she did not approve of his character, seeing that he flirted with both of her cousins, Maria and Julia, despite Maria’s being engaged at the time. This scene occurs in chapter 34 as noted underneath the title of this image. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Fanny wears the regency style dress with an empire waist. Her hair is worn tied up and wears a bonnet. She holds a fur muff, used to warm her hands. Edmund wears a waistcoat and tailcoat, a top hat, 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.
