Quote:
"[In Mansfield Park Patricia] Rozema evicts Fanny's seafaring brother William from her feminist adaptation, developing instead the character of sister Susan. William's adventures are inserted as Fanny's own fantasies; drawn from the young Austen's diaries and narrated by Fanny, the adventurous impetus is reinscribed as part of a nascent feminist fantasy world."
