JANE<br />
AUSTEN<br />
Austen lived her entire life as part of a closeknit<br />
family located on the lower fringes of<br />
the English landed gentry. She was educated<br />
primarily by her father and older brothers as<br />
well as through her own reading. The steadfast<br />
support of her family was critical to her<br />
development as a professional writer. Her artistic<br />
apprenticeship lasted from her teenage<br />
years until she was about 35 years old. During<br />
this period, she experimented with various<br />
literary forms, including the epistolary<br />
novel which she tried then abandoned, and<br />
wrote and extensively revised three major<br />
novels and began a fourth.<br />
Austen’s works critique the novels of sensibility<br />
of the second half of the 18th century<br />
and are part of the transition to 19th-century<br />
realism. Her plots, though fundamentally<br />
comic, highlight the dependence of women<br />
on marriage to secure social standing and<br />
economic security.<br />
“Selfi shness must always be forgiven you<br />
know, because there is no hope for a cure.”<br />
Jane Austen was an English novelist whose works of romantic<br />
fiction, set among the landed gentry, earned her a place as one of the<br />
most widely read writers in English literature, her realism and biting<br />
social commentary cementing her historical importance among<br />
scholars and critics.<br />

MANSFIELD PARK<br />
FANNY<br />
PRICE<br />
Taken from the poverty of her parents’<br />
home, Fanny Price is brought up with her<br />
rich cousins at Mansfield Park, acutely<br />
aware of her humble rank and with only<br />
her cousin Edmund as an ally.<br />
When Fanny’s uncle is absent in Antigua,<br />
Mary Crawford and her brother<br />
Henry arrive in the neighbourhood,<br />
bringing with them London glamour and<br />
a reckless taste for fl irtation. As her female<br />
cousins vie for Henry’s attention, and even<br />
Edmund falls for Mary’s dazzling charms,<br />
only Fanny remains doubtful about the<br />
Crawfords’ influence and fi nds herself<br />
more isolated than ever.<br />
A subtle examination of social position<br />
and moral integrity, Mansfield Park is one<br />
of Jane Austen’s most profound works.<br />
