Mansfield Park is written from the third-person omniscient point of view. Because of this point of view, the reader gets to see what's happening to many different characters without the other characters' knowledge. In third-person narrative, the reader is not as intimately connected with the protagonist as s/he would be if the narrative were written in the first person, but the author's command of letter writing and dialogue is so thorough that the reader often does hear first-person accounts.
