奧斯丁,1775年12月16日生於斯蒂文頓鄉一教區牧師傢庭。受到較好的傢庭教育,主要教材就是父親的文學藏書。奧斯丁一傢愛讀流行小說,多半是庸俗的消遣品。她少女時期的習作就是對這類流行小說的滑稽模仿,這樣就形成瞭她作品中嘲諷的基調。她的六部小說《理智與感傷》(1811)《傲慢與偏見》(1813)《曼斯斐爾德花園》(1814)《愛瑪》(1815)以及作者逝世以後齣版的《諾桑覺修道院》(1818)和《勸導》(1818),大半以鄉鎮上的中産階級日常生活為題材,通過愛情婚姻等方麵的矛盾衝突反映瞭18世紀末、19世紀初英國社會的風貌。作品中往往通過喜劇性的場麵嘲諷人們的愚蠢、自私、勢利和盲目自信等可鄙可笑的弱點。奧斯丁的小說齣現在19世紀初葉,一掃風行一時的假浪漫主義潮流,繼承和發展瞭英國18世紀優秀的現實主義傳統,為19世紀現實主義小說的高潮做瞭準備,起到瞭承上啓下的重要作用。
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.
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,...
評分《爱者誓言》(Lover's Vow)蓝本是一出德文戏,叫做'Das Kind der Liebe' (“恋爱中的孩子”(The Love Child)或“庶子”(The Natural Child)。在《曼斯菲尔德庄园》卷一中后,一干人煽风点火,排练预演,要把宁谧庄园变成喧俗戏园,第二卷随着托马斯爵士返家,《爱者誓言》...
評分至今都没想清,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...
評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...
評分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!
