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。

Begun in 1811 at the height of Jane Austen's writing powers and published in 1814, Mansfield Park marks a conscious break from the tone of her first three novels, Northanger Abbey, Sense and Sensibility, and Pride and Prejudice, the last of which Austen came to see as "rather too light." Fanny Price is unlike any of Austen's previous heroines, a girl from a poor family brought up in a splendid country house and possessed of a vast reserve of moral fortitude and imperturbability. She is very different from Elizabeth Bennet, but is the product of the same inspired imagination. Mansfield Park shows Austen as a mature novelist with an almost unparalleled ability to render character and an acute awareness of her world and how it was changing. Through the stories of Fanny Price, the Bertrams, and the Crawfords, she tackles the themes of faith and constancy and the threat that metropolitan manners could pose to a rural way of life. Mansfield Park is as amusing as any of Austen's novels, but, according to the critic Tony Tanner, it is also arguable that it is "her most profound novel --indeed...it is one of the most profound novels of the nineteenth century." About the Series : Each Norton Critical Edition includes an authoritative text, contextual and source materials, and a wide range of interpretations-from contemporary perspectives to the most current critical theory-as well as a bibliography and, in most cases, a chronology of the author's life and work.
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...
评分以前觉得精装书正统严肃厚重僵硬。而这本书的装帧舒服,内容怡人,居然由此喜欢精装书了。虽然连着读了几天才读完,但过足了捧着精装书的精致阅读的感觉,甚至觉得那几天的生活都被蕾丝化了。
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,...
