Mansfield Park - Wordsworth Classics (Paperback)
Jane Austen (author), Dr Ian Littlewood (author of introduction and notes), Dr Keith Carabine (series editor)Published: 05/12/1992
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.
