《曼斯菲尔德庄园》是简·奥斯丁的经典作品之一，与她的其他作品一样，以男女青年的恋爱婚姻为题材。但是,比较而言,本书情节更为复杂,突发性事件更加集中,社会讽剌意味也更加浓重。小说最后以范妮和埃德蒙的美满姻缘为结局,但在故事发展的过程中,作者的讽刺笔锋主要指向了以富足人家为代表的英国上流社会,揭示了他们的矫揉造作和荒唐可笑，本书为其原版作品。

Growing up with her cousins Tom, Edmund, Maria and Julia, she is aware that she is different from them and that her place in society cannot be taken for granted, although she is not treated unkindly. A dashing couple from London, Mary Crawford and her brother Henry, enter this stable, rural world. They succeed in dazzling everyone at Mansfield Park,except for Fanny, who sees through their shallow veneer. Throughout the dramatic events that follow it is she who is able to bring back some stability to the ruptured lives of those around her.One of the great novels of the nineteenth century,Mansfield Park echoes Jane Austen"s fears and awareness of the dawn of a modern age, which was to bring about a complete break from the old country traditions and way of life.
