MANSFIELD PARK : JANE AUSTEN AUSTEN JANE

Mansfield Park - JANE AUSTEN "You have qualities which I had not before supposed to exist in such a degree in any human creature. You have some touches of the angel in you." At the age of ten, Frances "Fanny" Price is sent to live with her uncle and aunt in Northamptonshire, where she is treated distantly by everyone but her cousin Edmund. One of Austen's most moral and good-hearted protagonists, Fanny is as loving ad nurturing as she is an astute judge of character. When the Crawford siblings enter their lives, Fanny seems to be the only one unaffected by their charms. Will she be able to keep her family safe from their seductive glamours? And will sincerity and character triumph over frivolous vanity?
