Mansfield Park

Author: Austen, Jane

Classic fiction (pre c 1945)

Published on 5 December 1992 by Wordsworth Editions Ltd in the United Kingdom as part of 'the Wordsworth Classics' series.

Introduction and Notes by Dr Ian Littlewood, University of Sussex.

Adultery is not a typical Jane Austen theme, but when it disturbs the relatively peaceful household at Mansfield Park, it has quite unexpected results.

The diffident and much put-upon heroine Fanny Price has to struggle to cope with the results, re-examining her own feelings while enduring the cheerful amorality, old-fashioned indifference and priggish disapproval of those around her.
