I did so, however, NOT because I was interested in the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stlbookclub.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5570446&amp;post=195&amp;subd=stlbookclub&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The scholarly edition of Mansfield Park  that I took a brief glance at indicates that this novel raised more controversy and contrasting opinions than all of Austen&#8217;s other novels combined.  Chiefly, people tend either to love or to hate Fanny Price&#8211;or else, at the very least to be uncomfortable with her.  Tony Tanner writes of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stlbookclub.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5570446&amp;post=186&amp;subd=stlbookclub&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
