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.

1814 Jane Austen, Mansfield Park.

Reading Mansfield Park by Jane Austen for the first time and I feel like I should be shipping her with her cousin, but that felt weird, so now I'm just pretending they're Targaryens and that's working so far. https://t.co/PI6o1HP1tL

Picked up this lovely edition of Mansfield Park & cute bookmark. I’ve *gasp* never read any Austen. Hopefully I can rectify that for Jane Austen July. https://t.co/xrewgpOulk
