Taken from the poverty of her parents’ home, Fanny Price is brought up with her rich cousins at Mansfield Park, acutely aware of her humble rank and with only her cousin Edmund as an ally. During her uncle’s absence in Antigua, Mary Crawford and her brother Henry arrive in the neighbourhood, bringing with them London glamour 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 their influence and finds herself more isolated than ever. A subtle examination of social position and moral integrity, Mansfield Park is one of Jane Austen’s most profound works.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Jane Austen

Uma das maiores referências da literatura inglesa, Jane Austen (1775-1817) marcou a passagem do Neoclassicismo para o Romantismo. Aos 15 anos escreveu o seu primeiro romance, publicado postumamente em 1922.

Na sua produção literária, distinguem-se habitualmente dois grandes momentos de criação. O primeiro, entre meados da década de 1790, corresponde à escrita das primeiras versões de Sensibilidade e Bom Senso – então intitulada Elinor and Marianne –, de Orgulho e Preconceito – originalmente First Impressions – e de Northanger Abbey – inicialmente chamada Susan. O segundo, já no período de maturidade em Chawton, começa com a revisão e publicação desses primeiros romances e prossegue com a escrita de Mansfield Park, Emma e Persuasão, o seu último romance completo.

Estas obras representam apenas uma parte das cerca de 35 obras e textos de Jane Austen, entre romances, novelas breves, juvenilia, sátiras e fragmentos inacabados.
