Pride and Prejudice

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.

Edited with an Introduction by Vivien Jones

读后感

奥斯汀给予我们一枚水晶球，球里四根红线，四座宅子里的爱情，几条驿道，颠簸的马车连起四对人的婚姻，有啼笑皆非，也有可以噙泪而笑！当然我是向往噙泪而笑的婚姻，在阅读中投入自己，见证他们的从误解走向心扉敞开，从缄而不语到互吐衷肠泪和笑，泪因他们崎岖坎坷，历经考验...  

本人孤陋寡闻，知道中国有人毕生研究一本书《红楼梦》的，一辈子只研究这一本，还有红学会。 我似乎也听说外国有人专门研究《荷马史诗》和《神曲》，不过真的不知道有没有人专门研究《傲慢与偏见》的。 反正，我自己研究这本书。 假如，你真的爱一个人，你怎么表达？ 写情书...  

我的枕头边常年放着几本书,其中一本就是傲慢与偏见 它已经陪了我快十年,很多个晚上睡不着，就会随手翻开来看一段 无论是达西与伊丽莎白在舞会上火花四溅的交锋 还是是班内特太太神经质的唠叨 简奥斯丁的睿智总能令我倾倒，会心一笑 而后回味着熟悉的情节倒头睡去 简奥斯丁的一...  

看到中途，我有些不愿再继续看，因为大概猜到了达西和伊丽莎白的美满结局，而我是极不喜欢或大悲或大喜的结局的，刚好耽搁下来，便闲置了很久。重拾起来，便一鼓作气看完，想要说的话很多，却无奈表达不出。 每看到一段感情多么圆满或无疾而终都会让我为自己难过...

最近重又复习，这本书在自己手里朋友手里流落了一年有余，已然微卷，书页微黄。我还做着将来把书传给女儿的打算，不过还是算了，读太多的童话不好。
