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.
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“爱玛·伍德豪斯,漂亮、聪明、富有,还有舒适的家庭和快活的性情,生活中一些最大的幸福,她似乎都齐备了。她在世上过了将近二十一年,很少有什么事情使她痛苦和烦恼过。”《爱玛》的开头和《傲慢与偏见》的开头是如出一辙的语气。这样的语气,使人愉悦,使人发笑,又使人...

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#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。。。
