Taken from the poverty of her parents' home in Portsmouth; Fanny Price is brought up with her rich cousins at Mansfield Park; acutely aware of her humble rank and with her cousin Edmund as her sole ally. During her uncle's absence in Antigua; the Crawford's arrive in the neighbourhood bringing with them the glamour of London life and a reckless taste for flirtation.
