Özet
Jane Austen can be regarded as an author renowned for her conventional novels atfirst glance. Nevertheless, reading Austen in a profound way reveals that there lies a hiddencritical voice against the irregularities of society. In this article, the novel, Mansfield Park, isanalysed to demonstrate how the author interrogates class as a constructed notion byemploying unusual techniques which are reminiscent of postmodernist devices. After thefunction of ex-centric characters, Fanny Price and James Rushworth, is focused on, the roleof the intertextual references employed by Austen in unearthing artificial class distinctions isexamined. It is concluded that the author implicitly challenges the class-oriented socialsystem of her age.
