Quote:
"Unlike other recent Austenian adaptations, Rozema's Mansfield Park self-reflexively points to itself as intertext, as an intervention into contemporary debates on Austen and authorship. Above all, it effectively and openly acknowledges that the very process of adaptation is necessarily founded on an act of reading and 'unfaithful' possession."
