Synopsis "Mansfield Park"

Sent to live with her rich cousins, the Bertrams, at the age of ten, Fanny Price is acutely aware of her humble rank. As she grows up, she falls in love with her cousin, Edmund Bertram, her only ally and friend. But when the Crawfords move into the neighborhood, bringing the glamour of London, and a reckless taste for flirtation, the Bertram family is thrown into scandal. Together, Fanny and Edmund must overcome the chaos around them in to come to terms with the love they have for each other.

She was a British novelist who lived during the Georgian era. She was born in the rectory of Steventon (Hampshire). Her family belonged to the British gentry (rural nobility or agrarian bourgeoisie), a context she never left and in which she set all her works, always revolving around the marriage of her protagonist.

She has been portrayed in cinema on numerous occasions, sometimes faithfully reproduced, like the 1940 classic Pride and Prejudice directed by Robert Z. Leonard and starring Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier, and other times adapted to modern times, as is the case with Clueless, a loose adaptation of Emma. Other versions include Sense and Sensibility from 1995; Mansfield Park from 2000; and Pride and Prejudice in 2004 (directed by Gurinder Chadha) and in 2005 (directed by Joe Wright). However, the most faithful and perfect version of the book Pride and Prejudice to date is the series presented by the BBC starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. The interest that Jane Austen's work continues to arouse today shows the relevance of her thought and the influence she has had on subsequent literature. Her life has also been portrayed in film with the movie Becoming Jane (2007)
