The novel tells the story of Fanny Price, starting when her overburdened, impoverished family sends her at age ten to live in the household of her wealthy aunt and uncle; it follows her development and concludes in early adulthood. From early on critical reception has been diverse. To some, the heroine Fanny Price was appealing; to others appalling. Some saw the novel as a straightforward; others as intensely ironic with many disguised allusions. Some have emphasized the novel's traditional values; others have emphasized radical and feminist interpretations.
