Mansfield Park - A Quiet Heroine Faces Society's Loudest Judgments in This Powerful Classic

Louisa May Alcott, Zenith Golden Quill

Synopsis

She was the poor relation—but not the weakest one.

In Mansfield Park, Jane Austen delivers one of her most profound and morally charged novels. The story follows Fanny Price, a shy and principled young woman raised by wealthy relatives, as she navigates love, ambition, and family pressure within the gilded confines of Mansfield Park.

Surrounded by vanity, flirtation, and social scheming, Fanny must rely on her conscience and inner resolve to survive—and ultimately thrive—in a world that underestimates her. Austen's exploration of virtue, status, and personal growth makes this a deeply reflective and emotionally satisfying classic.

This edition features period illustrations, detailed annotations, and context to enrich your reading experience.
