Description
At the age of ten, Fanny Price leaves her humble home to be raised by her wealthy relatives in the grand estate of Mansfield Park. She accepts her lower status and gradually falls in love with her cousin Edmund. However, when the sophisticated Henry Crawford arrives, Fanny's cousins become embroiled in rivalry and jealousy, drawing her into a complex web of relationships. As the family prepares to rehearse a play, Fanny struggles to maintain her independence amidst the Crawfords' charming but potentially damaging influence. When Henry turns his attention to her, the drama becomes more intense. This new edition of Mansfield Park provides an accurate and nuanced portrayal of Austen's complex story, set against the backdrop of Regency society. Oxford World's Classics has made this novel available in a format that reflects its scholarly commitment, featuring an expert introduction, helpful notes, and up-to-date bibliographies for further study.
