Jane Austen (16 December 1775 – 18 July 1817) was an English novelist whose works of romantic fiction, set among the landed gentry, earned her a place as one of the most widely read writers in English literature. Her realism, biting irony and social commentary have gained her historical importance among scholars and critics.
Austen lived her entire life as part of a close-knit family located on the lower fringes of the English landed gentry. She was educated primarily by her father and older brothers as well as through her own reading. The steadfast support of her family was critical to her development as a professional writer. Her artistic apprenticeship lasted from her teenage years into her thirties. During this period, she experimented with various literary forms, including the epistolary novel which she then abandoned, and wrote and extensively revised three major novels and began a fourth.[B] From 1811 until 1816, with the release of Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1816), she achieved success as a published writer. She wrote two additional novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, both published posthumously in 1818, and began a third, which was eventually titled Sanditon, but died before completing it.
Austen's works critique the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century realism. Her plots, though fundamentally comic, highlight the dependence of women on marriage to secure social standing and economic security. Her works, though usually popular, were first published anonymously and brought her little personal fame and only a few positive reviews during her lifetime, but the publication in 1869 of her nephew's A Memoir of Jane Austen introduced her to a wider public, and by the 1940s she had become widely accepted in academia as a great English writer. The second half of the 20th century saw a proliferation of Austen scholarship and the emergence of a Janeite fan culture.
Few have failed to be charmed by the witty and independent spirit of Elizabeth Bennet. Her early determination to dislike Mr. Darcy is a prejudice only matched by the folly of his arrogant pride. Their first impressions give way to true feelings in a comedy profoundly concerned with happiness and how it might be achieved.

评分《傲慢与偏见》是一部神书。达西先生是一位神人。 如果时间倒退几年回去,我肯定不会这么想。 可也许那些不朽的名著之所以不朽,就在于作者总能制造出一位传颂千秋、万人敬仰的完美人格来,只可惜,我看《傲慢与偏见》看得太晚了。 记得五、六年以前看奥斯汀的“Emma”,...

不得不说这是简奥斯丁我这学期读到现在最好的一本书,对于人物的刻画非常逼真,特别是Mrs. Bennet和Mr. Collins
评分给学生读了第一章,效果不错。
评分“Only deep love will persuade me to marry.”在阶级森严,性别角色固化的19世纪初,Elizabeth对爱情与幸福的追求无疑是振聋发聩的。最触动我的不是期待中的误解和解与happy ever after,而是Charlotte坦诚地对Lizzy说我已经27了,I can’t afford to be romantic,是Lizzy自己在求婚希望渺茫中的孤立无援,家人在面对即将发生的丑闻时的恐慌,这些都是浪漫华袍下的惨淡现实。事实上,只有很少的人能遇见生命中的Darcy。但我们能做的,是成为那个世俗眼光中坚定的Elizabeth。beautifully composed & needs a better ending:)))
评分当然超越5星
评分Been years since I first read this in Chinese. Elizabeth is still fucking stupid, Mr. Bennett somehow seems even more brilliant. And Darcy is still Darcy, too good to be true. Why do people like Jane Austen, she can't write?
