Mansfield Park

Fanny Price arrives as a child at Mansfield Park, the great house of her Bertram relatives, where she grows up in silence, always at the margins of a world that never fully considers her an equal. Discreet, observant, and endowed with a quiet but steadfast character, Fanny learns to navigate the whims of her cousins, the authority of Sir Thomas, and the indifference of Aunt Norris. Only Edmund offers her true companionship, someone capable of recognizing her sensitivity and intelligence.

Considered Jane Austen's most complex and mature novel, Mansfield Park explores with subtlety the bonds of family, personal integrity, and the dangers of mistaking superficial brilliance for true virtue.

Though her novels were published anonymously, her unique style and keen social observations have made her one of the most influential authors in English literature. Her work continues to be admired for its wit, irony, and the depth of its characters.
