Similarity to the Mansfield Park article

[edit]

This is an all right article. It is a bit too similar to the Mansfield Park; nevertheless, since Fanny Price was the heroine of Mansfield Park, I suppose she should have an article of her own. I think it needs to be edited though. It is a little crude. (unsigned and undated)

I see from the talk history that the above comment was made on 13 December 2008‎ by Christy huddleston when creating this Talk page The main point still applies. The article needs to concentrate on Fanny's role and significance. Other material here that provides context for Fanny's story, should be pruned to a minimum. That will enable issues about Fanny to be developed further.Petrosbizar (talk) 22:54, 10 January 2019 (UTC) Revised and clarified my comment Petrosbizar (talk) 06:42, 11 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This article sounds like it was written by Jane Austen

[edit]

I realise that when one is writing an article about a character from a book, it's easy to slip into the writing style of said book but this article is nevertheless quite POV, very In-Universe and difficult to read without going on Wiktionary every five minutes. I have a passion for words myself but I think words such as "impercunious" could perhaps be dispensed with to make the article more readable to a general audience. --194.81.33.7 (talk) 15:45, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Another Fanny Price in Poem Parish Register by Crabbe

[edit]

Alice Chandler in her essay A Pair of Fine Eyes: Jane Austen's Treatment of Sex, mentions Fanny Price as a character in the poem by Crabbe and how they may be connected to Austen's using the name in Mansfield Park. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.121.7.215 (talk) 03:15, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
