"Me!" cried Fanny..."Indeed you must excuse me. I could not act any
thing if you were to give me the world. No, indeed, I cannot act."
At the age of ten, Fanny Price leaves the poverty of her Portsmouth
home to be brought up among the family of her wealthy uncle, Sir
Thomas Bertram, in the chilly grandeur of Mansfield Park. There she
accepts her lowly status, and gradually falls in love with her
cousin Edmund. When the dazzling and sophisticated Henry and Mary
Crawford arrive, Fanny watches as her cousins become embroiled in
rivalry and sexual jealousy. As the company starts to rehearse a
play by way of entertainment, Fanny struggles to retain her
independence in the face of the Crawfords' dangerous attractions;
and when Henry turns his attentions to her, the drama really
begins... This new edition does full justice to Austen's complex
and subtle story, placing it in its Regency context and elucidating
the theatrical background that pervades the novel. ABOUT THE
SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made
available the widest range of literature from around the globe.
Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship,
providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable
features, including expert introductions by leading authorities,

further study, and much more.
