Fanny Price, a penniless young woman, is given up by her unprincipled and destitute family to live at Mansfield Park, the home of her uncle Sir Thomas Bertram in Northampton county. Sir Thomas, being a benevolent and good-hearted relative, makes the choice to raise this timid girl on his estate in the midst of his own family. Here in this comfortable and obliging community she meets Edmund Bertram, Sir Thomas' youngest son. She also becomes acquainted with Henry Crawford and his sister Mary. Henry is infatuated with Fanny while Edmund is enchanted by Mary. Fanny, albeit quiet and truthful, maintains a boundless reserve of moral determination. Henry and Mary are gifted and attractive but lack fundamental decorum, and without reliable principles to calm passion the results can be devastating. Though Mansfield Park is populated by the wealthy and established, the consequences of adultery and betrayal and broken friendships are prevalent. Surrounded by seductive distractions, Fanny remains certain of the difference between right and wrong, and Edmund is taken with her moral strength. An admonition of those who are more privileged than the commoners is unrefuted in Austen's works, and though this is still written as a comedy it is a dark one with its required happy ending accompanied by her merciful satire.Please Note: This book is easy to read in true text, not scanned images that can sometimes be difficult to decipher.

Work Description
Fanny Price is born to a poor family, but is sent to her mother's rich relations to be brought up with her cousins. There she is treated as an inferior by all except her cousin Edmund, whose kindness towards her earns him her steadfast love. Fanny is quiet and obedient and does not come into her own until her elder cousins leave the estate following a scandalous play put on in their father's absence. Fanny's loyalty and love is tested by the beautiful Crawford siblings. But their essentially weak natures and morals show them for what they really are, and allow Fanny to gain the one thing she truly desires.
