As has happened with many of history’s greatest writers, Jane Austen (16 December 1775 – 18 July 1817) did not earn the credit she was due until well after her death. Austen was an English novelist whose works of romantic fiction, set among the landed gentry, has earned her a place as one of the most widely read writers in English literature over the last 150 years.
Austen’s romantic fiction was an interesting genre that belied the fact her writing was laden with realism and a scathing critique on society and the role women played in it during her life. Austen tried several different types of literary styles before settling on writing novels from 1811-1817, releasing Sense and Sensibility (1811), her most famous work, Pride and Prejudice (1813), and Mansfield Park (1814), and Emma (1816).
Mansfield Park is considered Austen’s most controversial novel. Critics praised the novel's wholesome morality, but today’s readers often criticize Fanny and find her one of their least favorite protagonists in Austen’s novels. Austen's own mother described Fanny as "insipid." Nevertheless, the story contains much social satire and is perhaps the most socially realistic Austen novel, with Fanny's family of origin, the Prices, coming from a much lower echelon of society than most Austen characters.
This edition of Mansfield Park is specially formatted with a Table of Contents, an original introduction, and dozens of images of Austen and the novel’s characters and scenes.
