Summary
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.
