Fanny Price is ten when her poor parents send her to live with Bertrams, their rich relatives at Mansfield Park. The new life, however, has its own disadvantages. Her cousins, save Edmund, mistreat her. Her other aunt, who lives at Mansfield parsonage, treats her worse. Nonetheless, she grows up to be a fine, young lady. Then, one day voguish Mary and Henry Crawford come from London to stay at the parsonage. Their arrival transfigures Mansfield Park. Love and flirtation are in the air. Every young soul is smitten. Fanny has always liked Edmund but it s time she explored her true feelings for him. Published in 1814, Mansfield Park is Jane Austen s third and most intricate novel. It touches, including adultery, many subjects which do not appear in rest of her work. Like her other novels, it has been adapted for stage and screen many times.

One of all time literary favourites, Jane Austen was born at Steventon rectory, England on December 16, 1775. She started writing poems, stories and plays as early as 1787 which she compiled in three bound notebooks. Those early works were later published as Juvenilia. Then, she wrote Lady Susan, a novella in epistolary form. However, it remained unpublished for a long time. Having written Lady Susan, she penned down six novels, four of which were published during her life as follows: Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1815). Northanger Abbey (1818) and Persuasion (1818) were published posthumously. Two of her novels The Watsons and Sanditon, though published later on, remained unfinished. Austen died on July 18, 1817.
