Jane Austen was born on 16 December 1775 at Steventon, near Basingstoke, the seventh child of the rector of the parish. She lived with her family at Steventon until they moved to Bath when her father retired in 1801. after his death in 1805, she moved around with her mother, in 1809 they settled in Chawton, near Alton, Hampshire. Here she remained, except for a few visits to London, until May 1817, when she moved to Winchester to be near her doctor. There she died on 18 July 1817. Jane Austen was extremely modest about her own genius, describing her work to her nephew, Edward, as ‘the little bit (two Inches wide) of Ivory, on which I work with so fine a Brush, as produces little effect after much labour’. As a girl she wrote stories, including burlesques of popular romances. Her works were published only after much revision, four novels being published in her lifetime. These are Sense and Sensibility(1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma(1815). Two other novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, were published posthumously in 1818 with a biographical notice by her brother, Henry Austen, the first formal announcement of her authorship. Persuasion was written in a race against failing health in 1815-16. She also left two earlier compositions, a short epistolary novel, Lady Susan, and an unfinished novel, The Watsons. At the time of her death she was working on a new novel, Sanditon, a fragmentary draft of which survives.
Beautiful, clever, rich - and single - Emma Woodhouse is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage. Nothing, however, delights her more than interfering in the romantic lives of others. But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protégée Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected. With its imperfect but charming heroine and its witty and subtle exploration of relationships, Emma is often seen as Jane Austen's most flawless work.
本书刻画了三个主要女性,Emma、Harriet、Fairfax。毫无疑问,Emma是集万千宠爱于一身的,现代意义上的“白富美”,而另两位出身相对低贱的美好女性,很可能就被尊称为“女屌丝”了。 我并不喜欢Emma。自恃高人一等,忙着给Harriet和Mr.Elton做媒。当Mr.Elton求婚时她果断拒绝...
评分购买于新加坡国立大学Central Forum Co-op,不知道写在这里合不合适,我个人感觉翻译版本基本上不如原版的好。
评分一切都是生意。 婚姻就是两个人彼此达成的契约而已,记得恩格斯的理论吗,家庭,私有制和国家的起源,瞧瞧,这可是位大哲学家的深刻见解呦!而且这个男人只是和女友同居,那么另外一位更伟大的哲学家也是他的朋友,那位犀利的解剖资本的男人马克思,更是一位和女仆有私生子,葬...
评分读过奥斯汀小说的人都知道:散步,谈话,舞会,书信……是奥斯汀小说的情节。爱情,婚姻,家产,门第……是奥斯汀小说的主题。这些东西,足足写满了她的六本小说。难怪夏洛蒂•勃朗特会说,奥斯汀不知激情为何物。但不可否认,那些散步、舞会……,那些门第、婚姻……,还真...

She is a faultless girl despite all her faults. Austen must be a master of language.
评分#看的是signet classics版本的,找不到,就记在这个版本上吧。读英文还是有些吃力的,断断续续读了很久,书买了有2年了吧,最近半年才花了多点时间看,还拿着当Subway book。英语功力还不够,前面觉得挺平淡的,艾玛是个爱管闲事,自作聪明的人。到后面Frank和Jane是一对时开始觉得精彩。对我来说,能看完就是进步了。。。
评分2017.3.21 终于读完 #2017年度读书计划NO.6:Emma
评分好像不用再说了…我pick这本做论文总是有理由的T.T
评分我還是覺得英國這個時期的小說怎麼都跟肥皂劇一樣...
