Marianne (Australia) (2011/03/25):
Mansfield Park is Jane Austen’s third novel. Dr Ian Littlewood describes it in his introduction as her first “fully mature work”. The novel centres around Fanny Price, who, from the age of nine, is raised by her aunt and uncle, Sir Thomas and Lady Bertram, in the company of her cousins Tom, Edmund, Maria and Julia, and her aunt Norris. Austen’s prose gives us a clear snapshot of what life was like for the well-to-do and also the less well-off in Regency England. In this novel, Austen deals, as usual, with morality and, in this case, also with adultry. Austen’s characters are well portrayed and it is easy to see why her novels are still popular today.
