Mansfield Park was written just after Pride and Prejudice, offering a reverse view of the world and bringing a very modern perspective on the relative merits of hard work versus inherited wealth. Fanny Price is a meek, oppressed heroine who ultimately triumphs through sheer ingenuity and good character. The book deals with slavery, love, betrayal, rivalry, and meritocracy, highlighted by the mesmerizing tension between the metropolitan attitudes of The Crawfords and the residents of Mansfield Park, who are fascinated by the illicit, seductive behavior of their guests. Arguably Jane Austen's most ambitious novel, worth reading again, and again for its subtle layering of themes.

Original titles and a wide range of authors are synonymous with the Flame Tree Publishing brand.
