Introduction by Kathryn Sutherland.A meticulously-observed tale of the clash between obligation and desire, Jane Austen's 'Mansfield Park' is edited with an introduction and notes by Kathryn Sutherland in 'Penguin Classics'.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 Bertram as her sole ally.When her uncle Sir Thomas Birtram travels to Antigua, siblings Mary and Henry Crawford arrive in the neighbourhood, bringing with them the glamour of London life and a reckless taste for flirtation. As her female cousins vie for Henry's attention, and even Edmund falls for Mary's dazzling charms, only Fanny remains doubtful about the Crawfords' influence and finds herself more isolated than ever.'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.This edition is based on the first edition of 1814. It includes a chronology, additional suggestions for further reading and the original 'Penguin Classics' introduction by Tony Tanner.
