All editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest. Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influencesbiographical, historical, and literaryto enrich each reader's understanding of these enduring works. 0in 0in 0pt">From its sharply satiric opening sentence, Mansfield Park dealas with money and marriage, and how strongly they affect each other. Shy, fragile Fanny Price is the consummate "poor relation." Sent to live with her wealthy uncle Thomas, she clashes with his spoiled, selfish daughters and falls in love with his son. Their lives are further complicated by the arrival of a pair of witty, sophisticated Londoners, whose flair for flirtation collides with the quiet, conservative country ways of Mansfield Park.
Written several years after the early manuscripts that eventually became Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice , Mansfield Park retains Austen ’s familiar compassion and humor but offers a far more complex exploration of moral choices and their emotional consequences.

奥斯丁,1775年12月16日生于斯蒂文顿乡一教区牧师家庭。受到较好的家庭教育,主要教材就是父亲的文学藏书。奥斯丁一家爱读流行小说,多半是庸俗的消遣品。她少女时期的习作就是对这类流行小说的滑稽模仿,这样就形成了她作品中嘲讽的基调。她的六部小说《理智与感伤》(1811)《傲慢与偏见》(1813)《曼斯斐尔德花园》(1814)《爱玛》(1815)以及作者逝世以后出版的《诺桑觉修道院》(1818)和《劝导》(1818),大半以乡镇上的中产阶级日常生活为题材,通过爱情婚姻等方面的矛盾冲突反映了18世纪末、19世纪初英国社会的风貌。作品中往往通过喜剧性的场面嘲讽人们的愚蠢、自私、势利和盲目自信等可鄙可笑的弱点。奥斯丁的小说出现在19世纪初叶,一扫风行一时的假浪漫主义潮流,继承和发展了英国18世纪优秀的现实主义传统,为19世纪现实主义小说的高潮做了准备,起到了承上启下的重要作用。
《爱者誓言》(Lover's Vow)蓝本是一出德文戏,叫做'Das Kind der Liebe' (“恋爱中的孩子”(The Love Child)或“庶子”(The Natural Child)。在《曼斯菲尔德庄园》卷一中后,一干人煽风点火,排练预演,要把宁谧庄园变成喧俗戏园,第二卷随着托马斯爵士返家,《爱者誓言》...
评分实话实说,这本书的阅读过程无趣的要命,早在把它列为“在读”状态时的短评中,我就不无诧异风格为何与《pride and prejudice》&《sense and sensibility》如此迥异?及至读完都说不出到底什么感觉,每个人物都是脸谱式的,本就套路化的英国乡村爱情就更加平平无奇,女主角Fann...
评分至今都没想清,在心智尚幼的时候读了那么多简·奥斯丁,对我究竟是好是坏。 第一本是《曼斯菲尔德庄园》,那年我初一。埃德蒙安慰想家哭泣的小范妮,帮她裁信纸削鹅毛笔、改正错别字,简直是温柔到让心融化的场景。接着读《傲慢与偏见》、《理智与情感》,当时肯定是被那些爱...
评分范妮这个黛玉之所以求仁得仁完全由于奥斯丁硬要让她上位。从默默无闻到派对女王只是因为两个表姐去了伦敦。 她拒绝克劳福德少爷那时如履薄冰,前途堪忧,还回到了穷父母身边,不料已婚大表姐和克劳福德少爷私奔,二表姐也有样学样跟人跑了。范妮被急招回曼斯菲尔德。还捎上家...
评分这个版本的《曼斯菲尔德庄园》装订不错,就是白色封面容易弄脏,但对于译者,我实在不敢恭维。 英语中的有些话不能直译,一旦直译就会坏了味道,此版本译者的作者项星耀确实是个不错的译者,但他的译作属于直译,有些句子直译过来显得生硬,不顺口。 现在的翻译家再也...
