Pickson Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 Is there a definitive, readily available edition of Jane Austen's Mansfield Park that anyone recommends I use if I am in search of an edition that is absolutely faithful to the original? I'm seeing some variation in punctuation and spelling across editions. Thanks in advance--this is not my field but I'm sure for one of you it is!
transcendental Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 My field is not nearly related to Austen, but in a JA course I took my professor was insistent on the Penguin classics versions of her work. Looking quickly at my Penguin version, it says that it is based on the 1814 original and notes variations between 1814 and the 1816 in the appendix. I don't know how helpful that is. Have fun with Fanny!
