 | Mansfield Park by Anna Massey, Claudia L. Johnson, James Kinsley, Jane Austen, Jane Stabler
This satirical Austen novel points to the hypocrisy of a country that calls itself free--England--yet denies women full moral stature. Fanny Price, unlike any of Austen's other heroines, is from a poor family--though she was raised by her rich uncle and aunt in the grand country house of the title, where only her cousin Edmund (with whom she falls in love) helps her with the difficulties she suffers from the rest of the family, caused partly by her own fearfulness and timidity. When the sophisticated Crawfords (Henry and Mary), visit the Mansfield neighborhood, the moral sense of each marriageable member of the Mansfield family is tested. AUTHOR: Anna Massey, Claudia L. Johnson, James Kinsley, Jane Austen, Jane Stabler

 | Adam Bede by Carol A. Martin, Caroline Harvey, Flo Gibson, Frank R. Leavis, George Eliot
Published in 1859 and inspired by an anecdote told by George Eliot's aunt, ADAM BEDE is notable for its highly developed characters and convincing depiction of rural life in England. It is the story of Hetty Sorrel, who spurns the working-class Adam for the faithless lord of the manor, by whom she becomes pregnant. Hetty sets out on her own, disgraced, and her child dies of neglect. She is imprisoned for the child's murder, and Adam is devastated by the revelations of Hetty's plight and by her actions. Gradually, however, he falls in love with the virtuous Dinah Morris, the Methodist preacher who brings Hetty to repentance before she is executed. AUTHOR: Carol A. Martin, Caroline Harvey, Flo Gibson, Frank R. Leavis, George Eliot
