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。

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.

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...
评分简·奥斯汀的叙述不动声色,仿佛一块平凡的布料,然而,随着叙述的推进,它变幻着珍珠的色泽,变幻出丝绸的质地。直到一种不易察觉的状态的到来,人们才恍然大悟,这样的一种状态是陶醉,因为它面对的是一个黑洞般的文本,它必然会在其中被阅读的热情所定义。拥有横溢才华...

评分现代资产阶级家庭是建立在什么基础上的呢,是建立在资本上面,是建立在私人发财上面的。 ---《共产党宣言》 假如说巴尔扎克使马克思受益斐浅,那么奥斯丁就使得许多知识女性得到了关于婚姻本质的启示。但是一个值得注意的现象就是,大部分改编自其原著的影视作品只是刻意去展...
