Mansfield Park (Collins Classics)by Jane Austen

Fanny Price grows up among wealthier relatives at Mansfield Park, watching a household whose manners hide real questions of money, duty and character. Austen takes a quieter path here than in her comedies of courtship, weighing conduct and conscience against social advantage and letting an unassuming heroine judge the people around her. The Collins Classics edition reproduces the complete text with apparatus that helps modern readers with Regency customs and period vocabulary. Where its value sits: • Unabridged Austen text with period notes for context • A study of class, upbringing and moral choice rather than pure romance • Frequently set text for English literature papers and reading groups • Uniform Collins Classics styling for readers building the series Recommended for Austen readers, literature students and reading circles, available in the Collins Classics edition from Boipoka.
