Mansfield Park was published more than once, by different people, during Jane Austens lifetime. The first time it was published was on the second of July, 1814, by Thomas Egerton, who had previously published Sense and Sensibility. Outside of publishing Austen's work, there's little to be said about his publishing repertoire. The novel initially launched to radio silence from critics, but was widely-loved by fans of Austen's previously released work at the time.
