Through Fanny Price, the heroine of Mansfield Park, Jane Austen views the social mores of her day and contemplates human nature itself. A shy and sweet-tempered girl adopted by wealthy relations, Fanny is an outsider looking in on an unfamiliar, and often inhospitable, world. But Fanny eventually wins the affection of her benefactors, endearing herself to the Bertram family and the reader alike.
In her Introduction, Carol Shields writes, [Mansfield Park's] overriding theme is difficult to isolate, since the novel is about everything it touches upon: nurturing, steadfastness, belonging and not belonging, about fine gradations of moral persuasion, about human noise and silence, and about action and stillness.
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。
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...
评分忽然发现还漏了本奥斯汀的书,于是就拿来开始看。 不知道是不是翻译水平的问题,我最后看的极其火大。 奥斯汀的小说,不是悬疑,不是侦探,不是惊悚, 我简直怀疑这部小说是伪作,或者是拼凑出来的,或者是后人续作的。 或者就是翻译有问题,要知道,中文和英文的语感,确...
评分不论从哪方面来说,简·奥斯丁似乎都不是那种可以与“伟大”二字沾上边的人。这位仅活了四十二岁的牧师之女虽然自己终身未嫁,却在自己的小说中穷形尽相地勾勒了男女关系中种种微妙复杂的情愫和局面。《简·爱》的作者夏洛蒂·伯朗特曾批评奥斯丁的小说所反映的社会生活过于狭...
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...
评分其实读原著已是很早以前的事了,记得读的时候很有些不耐烦,毕竟灰姑娘式的女主人公范妮并不是一个很讨人喜欢的姑娘:纤弱易感,腼腆胆怯,罕言寡语,她不像伊丽莎白那样活泼风趣,不像爱玛那样生机勃勃,不像安妮那样一往情深,甚至不像凯瑟琳那样淳朴娇憨。诚然,她识大体,...
Too long - Austen's longest I think. To be moving so slowly in the first 45 chapters, then to resolve all the suspense in the last 3! I quite like the Crawfords. Though vain, selfish and flippant, they are shrewd observers capable of admiring moral goodness. Mary is the only funny one among the bunch! She and Edmund don't deserve each other!
