In Mansfield Park, first published in 1814, when the author had reached her full maturity as a novelist, Jane Austen paints some of most witty and perceptive studies of character. Against a genteel country landscape of formal parks and stately homes, the gossipy Mrs Norris becomes a masterful comic creation; the fickle young suitor Henry Crawford provides an unequaled portrait of an unscruplous young man; and the complexy drawn Fanny Price emerges as one of Jane Austen's finest achievements--the poor cousin who comes to stay with her wealthy relatives at Mansfield Park and learns how the game of love can too easily turn to folly. More intricately plotted and wider in scope than Austen's earlier works, Mansfield Park continues to enchant and delight us as a superb example of a great author's craft.
About thirty years ago, Miss Maria Ward of Huntingdon, with only seven thousand pounds, had the good luck to captivate Sir Thomas Bertram, of Mansfield Park, in the county of Northampton, and to be thereby raised to the rank of a baronet’s lady, with all the comforts and consequences of an handsome house and large income.
Miss Ward, at the end of half a dozen years, found herself obliged to be attached to the Rev. Mr. Norris, a friend of her brother-in-law, with scarcely private fortune, and Miss Frances fared yet worse.
But Miss Frances married, in the common phrase, to disoblige her family, and by fixing on a Lieutenant of Marines, without education, fortune, or connection, did it very thoroughly. (查看原文)
How is it the poet describes a wife, Sir Thomas? --- She's heaven's last best gift, my dear. 可能我有一面很像Fanny吧，奥斯汀女主里，还是偏爱她，sensitive, modest, and persistent

Austen的语言繁杂程度和Dickens有得一拼，看得真累啊，不过有写得好的地方;另外最后几章Maria和Henry搞婚外情，Julia和Yeats私奔写得也太突兀了吧？结局是典型的圆满结局，Fanny和Edmund结合其实我早猜到了，Fanny这个角色我还挺喜欢的。

行文，过于四平八稳，循规蹈矩。偏生Fanny又是这么个安分随时，缄默隐忍的淑女，我是不怎么喜欢的
