The most searching and controversial of Jane Austen's novels. Sent at ten to live among rich relations who never let her forget the favor, Fanny Price grows into the one person at Mansfield Park with a working conscience - a heroine Austen deliberately gave neither wit nor charm, daring the reader to love her anyway. Its amateur theatricals, its famous ha-ha, and the shadow of a slave estate in Antigua have kept readers arguing for a century. This edition presents the complete and unabridged novel, newly typeset and illustrated with 50 full-page color plates.
