520 $aFanny 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.
