When her uncle Sir Thomas Birtram travels to Antigua, siblings Mary and Henry Crawford arrive in the neighbourhood, bringing with them the glamour of London life 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 the Crawfords' influence and finds herself more isolated than ever.  \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMansfield Park\u003c\/i\u003e is considered Jane Austen's first mature work and, with its quiet heroine and subtle examination of social position and moral integrity, one of her most profound. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis edition is based on the first edition of 1814.
