520 1  "What grounds our ethical choices in a modern world of 
       competing versions of virtue and conflicting ideas of law?
       Constancy, Jane Austen's cardinal virtue, provides a 
       foundation for making such choices. Constancy and the 
       Ethics of Jane Austen's "Mansfield Park" offers a rigorous
       philosophical examination of the novel, the first book-
       length, close reading to do so." "Joyce Kerr Tarpley 
       begins with an introduction that provides a background for
       reading Austen's ethics, noting her genius for synthesis, 
       in particular her synthesis of ethical contexts. The book 
       brings together classical thinkers (Plato and Aristotle) 
       with Christian (Augustine, Aquinas, and Dante), and modern
       (Shaftesbury, Locke, and Adam Smith). While acknowledging 
       these influences, Tarpley argues that constancy relies 
       primarily on a Christian philosophical framework. She 
       defines constancy and delineates its role in guiding 
       ethical thinking." "Relying on textual evidence from the 
       novel and focusing on Austen's heroine, Fanny Price, the 
       first half of the book contrasts the Christian liberal 
       education that fosters the development and practice of 
       constancy with its secular utilitarian counterpart, which 
       impedes its development and practice. The second half 
       considers the two most important subjects for Christian 
       liberal learning, beauty and truth. Tarpley delineates the
       dual role of constancy--moral and intellectual--to guide 
       the heart's pursuit of beauty and the mind's pursuit of 
       truth. Her argument contributes to the ongoing debate on 
       the philosophy of literature, religion, ethics, and 
       emotion."--Jacket.
