Product Details
From the back cover: "Of Jane Austen's novels,Mansfield Park is unique in its moral design, with a heroine far different from the author's previous creations. This young lady, Miss Fanny Price, the poor relation of a wealthy family, possesses only natural goodness to aid her against a dazzlingly witty and lovely rival as they compete for the man they both love. Her ultimate triumph is one of character over personality, purity of heart over brilliance of manner, in a tale that constitutes a sharply pointed attack on social sham. Written with the stylist grace and delicate perception that distinguish the entire Austen canon, Mansfield Park stands as one of the most complex and fascinating achievements of a writer ranked by Virginia Woolf as 'the most perfect artist among women.' It is, as Marvin Mudrick declares, 'the first novel that Jane Austen wrote with the maturity of her powers...a long novel, her longest, and its length is an index of magnitude.'"
This edition contains an Afterword by Marvin Mudrick and a revised and updated bibliography.
