Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influences—biographical, historical, and literary—to enrich each reader's understanding of these enduring works.
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。
看完这本书挺失望的,完全不能代表简奥斯丁的水准。主角范妮,不再是聪慧、独立、活泼的特性,而是变得羞涩、温柔、隐忍,是一个“灰姑娘”的角色。而本书名义上仍然以男女恋爱婚姻为素材,但实际上却直指家庭教育对年轻人成长的影响,对于他的两个女儿,托马斯爵士“本想让她...
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,...
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 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...
