Overview

This third novel by Jane Austen; Mansfield Park; has brought about a drastic change not previously seen in other works by the author.

In the most eloquent tone, Jane manages to take seemingly unattractive topics and meld them into a powerful story full of brilliance.This beautifully illustrated 200th Anniversary Edition captures the essence of Austen's original work, while also including the body of illustrations first introduced in 1908 by artist C.E. Brock. In keeping with its original format, Queensbridge decided to include all three original volumes.© 2014 Queensbridge Publishing

About the Author

Jane Austen (1775–1817) was an English author known primarily for her six major novels set among the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Considered defining works of the Regency Era and counted among the best–loved classics of English literature, Austen's books include Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion. The latter two were published after her death. "I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library." – Jane Austen
