Mansfield Park

Jane Austen - paperback

Taken from the poverty of her parents' home in Portsmouth, Fanny Price is brought up with her rich cousins at Mansfield Park, acutely aware of her humble rank and with her cousin Edmund as her sole ally. During her uncle's absence in Antigua, the Crawford's arrive in the neighbourhood bringing with them the glamour of London life and a reckless taste for flirtation. Mansfield Park is considered Jane Austen's first mature work and, with its quiet heroine and subtle examination of social position and moral integrity, one of her most profound.

Sacada de la pobreza de la casa de sus padres en Portsmouth, Fanny Price se cría con sus primos ricos en Mansfield Park, muy consciente de su humilde rango y con su primo Edmund como su único aliado. Durante la ausencia de su tío en Antigua, los Crawford llegan al barrio trayendo consigo el glamour de la vida londinense y un gusto imprudente por el coqueteo. Mansfield Park se considera la primera obra madura de Jane Austen y, con su tranquila heroína y su sutil examen de la posición social y la integridad moral, una de las más profundas.
