Гражданин! Мать - это республика, а папа - стакан портвейна.
Miss J. Austen, Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell
The most elaborate Austen reference occurs about half way through the novel with the introduction of a minor character clearly based on Mrs. Rushworth, the former Maria Bertram—not surprisingly, since Clarke chose Mansfield Park as her favorite novel to discuss on a Daily Telegraph website in December 2005.[1] Here called “Mrs. Bullworth,” she has been abandoned by her lover, Henry Lascelles, and lives in affluent retirement in Hampstead with an old aunt. Mrs. Bullworth is described as “tall, well-formed and beautiful. Her gown was of scarlet velvet and her white neck was set off by an intricate necklace of jet beads” (387). In the style of those “desultory novels” of which Cassandra Austen disapproved, she recounts her history to Strange [...] She is particularly venomous about a certain Miss Elizabeth Church:
A cousin of mine—a tedious, embroidering sort of girl. No one ever paid her the least attention until I married Mr. Bullworth. Yet now I hear she is to be married to a clergyman and my father has given her a banker’s draft to pay for wedding clothes and new furniture. . . . They are to live in York where they will attend dinners and parties and balls, and enjoy all those pleasures which ought to have been mine. . . . [S]urely there must be spells to make the clergyman hate the very sight of Lizzie? (391)
Статья довольно-таки короткая, и в ней, в принципе, ничего совершенно неожиданного не говорится, но вот это было интересно
Мне и в голову не пришло, так как "Мэнсфилд-парк" я читала уже после СиН, а в экранизации этой дамочки было мало.
Где-то на тумблере попадалась ссылка на статью, в которой, судя по приведённой в посте цитате, было написано о "species of revolution", рабочем классе, женщинах и тому подобном в этой книге куда более развёрнуто и толково, чем пыталась написать я, но я не могу её найти =(
