City life and country life are compared, In mansfield park so strongly. IN PAnd P subtly when Charls bingley says he loves the country life.
the cities then were by far less polluted/populated and still retained a "brit population"(unlike so many immigrants now),
Yet people preferred country to city. Wanted to have a second home or estate in country
A concept which is fast catching even today. Well that is the beuty of JA works , somany prediciments and consterints and inclination are still relevant to our times as well.
