HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved, essential classics.

Mansfield Park explores themes of marriage, class, and societal expectations. Jane Austen masterfully critiques the social norms of her time through the experiences of her protagonist, Fanny Price.

'I pay very little regard…to what any young person says on the subject of marriage. If they profess a disinclination for it, I only set it down that they have not yet seen the right person.'

Humble and lowly, young Fanny Price goes to live with her wealthy aunt and uncle at their grand house, Mansfield Park. Growing up with her privileged and spoilt cousins, the Bertrams, she lives in the shadows of their glamorous lives but manages to find an ally in her cousin, Edmund.

When Henry and Mary Crawford come to visit, the house is thrown into disarray as romance flourishes between the young people, leading Fanny to finally confront the extent of her true feelings for Edmund.
