chesilbeach Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 NORTHAMPTONSHIRE Mansfield Park by Jane Austen Synopsis:Adopted into the household of her uncle, Sir Thomas Bertram, Fanny Price grows up a meek outsider among her cousins in the unaccustomed elegance of Mansfield Park. Soon after Sir Thomas absents himself on estate business in Antigua (the family's investment in slavery and sugar is considered in the Introduction in a new, post-colonial light), Mary Crawford and her brother Henry arrive at Mansfield, bringing with them London glamour, and the seductive taste for flirtation and theatre that precipitates a crisis.Other Northamptonshire books:Mistress Masham's Repose by T.
