Mansfield Park tells the tale of Fanny Price, starting from when her overburdened family sends her at the age of ten to live in the household of a wealthy aunt and uncle and follows her throughout her development into early adulthood.
The third published novel by Jane Austen, Mansfield Park was first published in 1814 and is widely considered to be Austen's first mature, and possibly most profound, work due to its quiet heroine and subtle examination of social position and moral integrity. This edition does full justice to Austen's complex and subtle story, placing it in its Regency context and illuminating the theatrical background that pervades the novel.
