Publisher Description

From its sharply satiric opening sentence, Mansfield Park deals with money and marriage, and how strongly they affect each other. Shy, fragile Fanny Price is the consummate "poor relation." Sent to live with her wealthy uncle Thomas, she clashes with his spoiled, selfish daughters and falls in love with his son. Their lives are further complicated by the arrival of a pair of witty, sophisticated Londoners, whose flair for flirtation collides with the quiet, conservative country ways of Mansfield Park.

Written several years after the early manuscripts that eventually became Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park retains Jane Austen's familiar compassion and humor but offers a far more complex exploration of moral choices and their emotional consequences.

"I only discovered Jane Austen when I was in my forties and read Pride and Prejudice. I couldn't believe I'd missed out on such fantastic writing for so much of my life! Since then I have read and re-read all her books, although P&P, Sense and Sensibility and Northanger Abbey have to be my favorites. I love her humour and wit, and her brilliant characterisation. Elizabeth Bennet has the starring role, but I do have a soft spot for Mr Collins in Pride and Prejudice (and he was wonderfully portrayed in teh BBC TV series.)"

Quotes

  • McCaddon is the ideal choice to present this classic...a nineteenth-century 'tell all' just as impossible to resist as the tabloids in the check-out line.

    " This book - like Northanger Abbey - left me hanging at the end. You are so invested in Fanny's story and life and then the conclusion to her long suffering journey is given scant attention. I want wedding details and Fanny's reaction. Still it is Jane Austen and it was early 1800's and maybe those things just weren't talked about - even though everything else was! "

    " Wonderful book--you don't have to look for all the different books because they're all there! The drawings are wonderful and seem to be period-authentic. And it looks good on my shelf! I don't love all the books she wrote, but at least half of them I do. Well worth the investment. "

    " The most disappointing Jane Austen novel I've read. Fanny is without a doubt her worst main character because of her absolute lack of agency. She is frail as glass and her problems become annoying rather than endearing. Do not read this novel. "

    " I really enjoyed Mansfield Park. It's funny that even I got sucked into the Mr. Crawford-Fanny match and found her reluctance almost annoying for a while. I just love how Jane Austen commentates on society, morality, love, etc. "

About Jane Austen

Jane Austen (1775–1817) is considered by many scholars to be the first great woman novelist. Born in Steventon, England, she later moved to Bath and began to write for her own and her family’s amusement. Her novels, set in her own English countryside, depict the daily lives of provincial middle-class families with wry observation, a delicate irony, and a good-humored wit.
