Mansfield Park

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. AUTHOR Jane Austen (1775 – 1817) was an English novelist whose works of romantic fiction, set among the landed gentry, earned her a place as one of the most widely read writers in English literature. Her realism and biting social commentary have gained her historical importance among scholars and critics. —- ISBN: 9781853260322
