具体描述
Mansfield Park , by Jane Austen , is part of the Barnes & Noble Classics series, which offers quality editions at affordable prices to the student and the general reader, including new scholarship, thoughtful design, and pages of carefully crafted extras. Here are some of the remarkable features of Barnes & Noble Classics : New introductions commissioned from today's top writers and scholars Biographies of the authors Chronologies of contemporary historical, biographical, and cultural events Footnotes and endnotes Selective discussions of imitations, parodies, poems, books, plays, paintings, operas, statuary, and films inspired by the work Comments by other famous authors Study questions to challenge the reader's viewpoints and expectations Bibliographies for further reading Indices & Glossaries, when appropriateAll editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest. Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influences—biographical, historical, and literary—to enrich each reader's understanding of these enduring works.
From its sharply satiric opening sentence, Mansfield Park dealas with money and marriage, and how strongly they affect each other. Shy, fragile Fanny Price is the consummate "poor relation." Sent to live with her wealthy uncle Thomas, she clashes with his spoiled, selfish daughters and falls in love with his son. Their lives are further complicated by the arrival of a pair of witty, sophisticated Londoners, whose flair for flirtation collides with the quiet, conservative country ways of Mansfield Park.
Written several years after the early manuscripts that eventually became Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice , Mansfield Park retains Austen ’s familiar compassion and humor but offers a far more complex exploration of moral choices and their emotional consequences.

作者简介
奥斯丁，1775年12月16日生于斯蒂文顿乡一教区牧师家庭。受到较好的家庭教育，主要教材就是父亲的文学藏书。奥斯丁一家爱读流行小说，多半是庸俗的消遣品。她少女时期的习作就是对这类流行小说的滑稽模仿，这样就形成了她作品中嘲讽的基调。她的六部小说《理智与感伤》(1811)《傲慢与偏见》(1813)《曼斯斐尔德花园》(1814)《爱玛》(1815)以及作者逝世以后出版的《诺桑觉修道院》(1818)和《劝导》(1818)，大半以乡镇上的中产阶级日常生活为题材，通过爱情婚姻等方面的矛盾冲突反映了18世纪末、19世纪初英国社会的风貌。作品中往往通过喜剧性的场面嘲讽人们的愚蠢、自私、势利和盲目自信等可鄙可笑的弱点。奥斯丁的小说出现在19世纪初叶，一扫风行一时的假浪漫主义潮流，继承和发展了英国18世纪优秀的现实主义传统，为19世纪现实主义小说的高潮做了准备，起到了承上启下的重要作用。

读后感
实话实说，这本书的阅读过程无趣的要命，早在把它列为“在读”状态时的短评中，我就不无诧异风格为何与《pride and prejudice》&《sense and sensibility》如此迥异？及至读完都说不出到底什么感觉，每个人物都是脸谱式的，本就套路化的英国乡村爱情就更加平平无奇，女主角Fann...
评分一个不太让人容易引起兴趣的名字，看似不太让人轻易靠近的开端。但却让人越读越痴迷，越读越有兴致。 因为我在读到一半时，已经将其定位于英国版的《红楼梦》。 首先，范妮进入曼斯菲尔德庄园的情形与林黛玉进入贾府的情形是如此的相似。不同之处在于，一个是兄弟姐妹太多...
评分不论从哪方面来说，简·奥斯丁似乎都不是那种可以与“伟大”二字沾上边的人。这位仅活了四十二岁的牧师之女虽然自己终身未嫁，却在自己的小说中穷形尽相地勾勒了男女关系中种种微妙复杂的情愫和局面。《简·爱》的作者夏洛蒂·伯朗特曾批评奥斯丁的小说所反映的社会生活过于狭...
评分以前觉得精装书正统严肃厚重僵硬。而这本书的装帧舒服，内容怡人，居然由此喜欢精装书了。虽然连着读了几天才读完，但过足了捧着精装书的精致阅读的感觉，甚至觉得那几天的生活都被蕾丝化了。
评分看完这本书挺失望的，完全不能代表简奥斯丁的水准。主角范妮，不再是聪慧、独立、活泼的特性，而是变得羞涩、温柔、隐忍，是一个“灰姑娘”的角色。而本书名义上仍然以男女恋爱婚姻为素材，但实际上却直指家庭教育对年轻人成长的影响，对于他的两个女儿，托马斯爵士“本想让她...
