Mansfield Park is the most global novel in the Jane Austen oeuvre, not only because it openly exposes its connections to the terrestrial globe through the problematic Antigua estates of Sir Thomas Bertram, but also because of the worldly concerns of its heroine. Fanny is the only one interested in her uncle’s business in Antigua, the other backdrop to the pre-eminently English country house. The domestic values that would be apotheosized in Victorian culture were coming into their own in the idea of home, a sanitized and civilized domestic interior distinct from the unruly and savage exterior. The very definition of the interior depended on a world outside, hence my adoption of Peter Sloterdijk’s conception of “the world interior of capital” to chart my own reading of the newly interiorized home within the context of global colonial rule. This home would be enriched by the rich and exotic spoils of the “world” while remaining strictly separated from it. Conceptions of action, subjectivity, and freedom, all political markers of modernity, are inevitably transformed by what happens in the world of globalization. The contrast between the “strong, manly, spirited” efforts of the masculine versus her own “little bit (two Inches wide) of Ivory on which I work with so fine a Brush” is more telling than one might think. Ivory travelled on the same ships as slaves in the triangular trade. My paper seeks to show how action is gendered and domesticated for the smooth functioning of the world interior of capital.
