Manor House, Life in an Edwardian Country House is a lavishly illustrated, large-format companion book to the television series. The author Juliet Gardiner first sets the historic backdrop of the period & then explores the key events in the social calendar of the family
- a fancy dress ball, , a society dinner party, a village fete, a musical evening, a shooting party. She not only details the activities from the point of view of the family of the house, but as from that of the servants. This was the era when the privileges of the rich were only made possible by the labour of their servants, an age when the inequalities of wealth & poverty were starkly delineated & the conventions of class were still rigidly, if complexly, defined. Descriptions of the day-to-day activities involved in running a country house are told through diary extracts, letters, advice manuals, & recipes, while special craft features enable readers to create a range of authentic Edwardian delights for themselves.

I pay very little regard...to what any young person says on the subject of marriage. If they profess a disinclination for it, I only set it down that they have not yet seen the right person. Humble & reserved, a young Fanny Price goes to live with her wealthy aunt & uncle at their grand house, Mansfield Park. Growing up with her privileged & indulged cousins, the Bertrams, she lives in the shadows of their glamorous lives, but finds an ally in her kind cousin, Edmund. When the questionable Henry & Mary Crawford come to visit, the house is thrown into disarray as romance flourishes between the young people, forcing Fanny to finally confront the extent of her true feelings for Edmund. Considered Austen's most socially aware & complex novel, the timid & moral character of Fanny has inspired more debate among modern readers than any of Austen's other female protagonists. ...
