Book Description
Caroline Sanderson seeks out Jane Austen's England to see what still remains today. Following in Jane Austen's footsteps, she tramps the muddy fields around Austen's childhood home in Hampshire, walks the elegant streets of Bath, and strolls along the breezy promenades of south coast resorts. Drawing on Jane Austen's letters and novels, Sanderson charts her own experiences of the places from which Jane Austen sought inspiration, and reaches some original and fascinating conclusions, whilst shedding light on just why this very English novelist is still so universally cherished and why her influence remains so great.

Book Description
Mansfield Park is Jane Austen’s darkest, and most complex novel. In contrast to the confident and vivacious heroines of Emma and Pride and Prejudice, its central character, Fanny Price, is a shy and vulnerable poor relation who finds the courage to stand up for her principles and desires. Fanny comes to live at Mansfield Park, the home of the wealthy Bertram family, and of Fanny’s aunt, Lady Bertram. Though the family impresses upon Fanny her inferior status, she finds a friend in Edmund, the younger brother. Mansfield Park explores important issues such as slavery (the source of the Bertrams’ wealth), the oppressive nature of idealized femininity, and women’s education. This edition sheds light on these and other issues through its insightful introduction and wide-ranging appendices of contemporary documents.

Her best known works include Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park and Emma. Austen's works are part of the transition to 19th-century literary realism, and her use of biting irony, along with her realism and social commentary, have earned her acclaim among critics and scholars.
