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.
«爱玛»被认为是“与莎士比亚平起平坐”的简·奥斯丁最成熟的作品,然而,读完却多少有一些失望,究其原因,也许是因为爱玛这个主角被有意塑造的并不完美。爱玛出身高贵,家庭富有,虽然心地善良,热情直率,但一方面十分固守等级偏见,另一方面清高自傲,自以为是,相比...
评分As her usual focus on the description of the provincial aristocratic-bourgeois life of the late 18th-century England, the gentry families to be specific, Jane Austen writes Emma, with an ever more conspicuous and trenchant view, and in meticulous detai...
评分爱玛——真实的我们 其实,在我看来,简奥斯汀与其他名著作家很不一样。她的作品似乎从来都很容易理解。某种程度上,似乎有些崇尚Happy ending这位女士很言情小说风。这当然同其家庭,环境及历史背景有着紧密的联系。但不同的是,简奥斯汀有着非凡的观察力,我们从之灵动的各式...
评分这书写于1815年,只比《红楼梦》晚30年左右。想象一个水平很一般但态度很认真的英文读者读《红楼》,就可以知道我读《爱玛》时碰到的困难。陌生的字眼,陌生的句式,很多长句复句,很多双重否定,无处不在的讽喻,含蓄委婉的褒贬... ...200年前的英国小乡绅,真的都是这么说话...
评分虽然很喜欢《傲慢与偏见》,但看《爱玛》却是因为我很喜欢很喜欢的一部漫画《爱玛》(又名《英国恋物语》)。那时候这部漫画还没完结,于是很急切地搜到了小说《爱玛》,才知道此爱玛非彼爱玛。 但更喜欢。 喜欢奥斯汀,喜欢她的庸俗热切,喜欢她追寻的真实的真善美,纯粹的...
奥斯丁真是天才,可惜环境限制了她。然而,结局完全滑向了晋江文学啊!
评分作为男性读者,我很负责任地说这书无趣的很。但不可否认,简•奥斯汀的文笔绝对一流。我看此书时的状态,和汤姆•汉克斯在《电子情书》里看《傲慢与偏见》的状态是一致的。人生兜兜转转一圈还是会出其不意地回到原点,不同的,是那些宝贵的经历,以及它们给自己带来的灵魂上的深度。
评分读完〈爱玛〉。第一次出现对女主无感的情况,自私、骄傲、冷漠,按照简"门当户对、品格互配”的风格,连带对Mr Knightly也喜欢不起来了。@moongill 说得对,我们心中都有一个小Emma,但简的描述太抽丝拨茧,接近于“我”,而使得“我”有些不愿面对。但在现实交往中,内心感受常被忽略,外在的言语、行为是判断依据,所以,这样的Emma必然是受欢迎的。
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Jane最好的爱情描写。
