Mansfield Park - Large Print Edition

by Jane Austen

Overview

When Fannie Price is sent to live with her rich uncle and aunt Sir Thomas and Lady Bertram at the age of ten, she finds that she is treated like a poor unwanted cousin. Most of the novel features Fannie at age eighteen and nineteen. She's been in love with her cousin Edmund, who is the only one of her cousins to show her any true kindness. The problem is that Edmund is in love with Mary Crawford.

Mansfield Park is perhaps Jane Austen's most controversial novel, and it features a good deal of social satire.

About the Author

Jane Austen (1775-1817) wrote romantic novels set among the landed gentry, and won herself a place as one of the favorite and most-read writers in English literature. Scholars and critics appreciate her social commentary and her irony, while normal readers love her for her characters and stories. While her plots tended to be comic, they focused on how women had to depend on marriage to secure social standing and economic security in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
