In 1811, Jane Austen's first published work, Sense and Sensibility, marked the debut of England's premier noverlist of manners. Believing that "3 or 4 families in a country village is the very thing to work on," she created a brillant tragicomedy of flirtation and folly. Romantic walks through lush Devonshire and genteel dinner parties at a stately manor draw two pretty sisters into the schems and manipulations of landed gentry determined to marry wisely and well. Neither sense nor sensibility can guarantee happiness for either--as romantic Marianne falls prey to a dangerous rascal, and reasonable Elinor loses her heart to a gentleman already engaged. Wonderfully entertaining yet subtle and probing in its characterizations, Sense and Sensibility richly displays the supreme artistry of a great English novelist.
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。
不止一次看过sense and sensibility,原因很简单,这几乎和Pride and prejudice一样,提到Jane Austen就能想到。印象里的Marianne就是李安电影中的形象,几分多愁善感,几分神经质敏感,几分才气,几分自负,几分可爱。Elinor则是完全实现自我情绪控制的达人,善良而胸怀宽广。...

评分伍尔芙曾说过“在所有伟大作家之中,奥斯丁的伟大是最难在一瞬间把握的” 这句话至少对我是十分适用的。 读得第一本奥斯丁的书是《傲慢与偏见》,在高一军训期间读完的。当时觉得莫名其妙,读得兴味索然,一点也提不起兴趣。感觉只是一群女人天天参加舞会...
因为P&P的缘故,剧情很早就猜出来了。感觉还是有点像在人脸上贴sense或者sensility标签的感觉,有点像现代韩剧。Anyway,但从叙事细节和人物定型后的塑造来说的确是本好书。
