A beautiful hardback gift edition of Jane Austen's remarkable novel
Jane Austen was born in 1775 in rural Hampshire, the daughter of an affluent village rector who encouraged her in her artistic pursuits. In novels such as Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park and Emma she developed her subtle analysis of contemporary life through depictions of the middle-classes in small towns. Her sharp wit and incisive portraits of ordinary people have given her novels enduring popularity. She died in 1817.
I can’t leave Mansfield Park alone. When driving or washing dishes
or folding laundry, I turn on an audio version and listen, and I
keep the little speckled copy of the text near me at all times.
*LA Review of Books*
Mansfield Park highlights, as no other Austen novel does, the role
that class and class privilege play in determining the popular
qualities for a heroine’s charm and wit.
