Jane Austen was born on 16 December 1775 at Steventon, near Basingstoke, the seventh child of the rector of the parish. She lived with her family at Steventon until they moved to Bath when her father retired in 1801. after his death in 1805, she moved around with her mother, in 1809 they settled in Chawton, near Alton, Hampshire. Here she remained, except for a few visits to London, until May 1817, when she moved to Winchester to be near her doctor. There she died on 18 July 1817. Jane Austen was extremely modest about her own genius, describing her work to her nephew, Edward, as ‘the little bit (two Inches wide) of Ivory, on which I work with so fine a Brush, as produces little effect after much labour’. As a girl she wrote stories, including burlesques of popular romances. Her works were published only after much revision, four novels being published in her lifetime. These are Sense and Sensibility(1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma(1815). Two other novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, were published posthumously in 1818 with a biographical notice by her brother, Henry Austen, the first formal announcement of her authorship. Persuasion was written in a race against failing health in 1815-16. She also left two earlier compositions, a short epistolary novel, Lady Susan, and an unfinished novel, The Watsons. At the time of her death she was working on a new novel, Sanditon, a fragmentary draft of which survives.

评分為情所苦的人,讀這一本也就夠了。 且不說簡.奧斯汀的文字如何優雅舒緩,且不說簡.奧斯汀帶來了一貫的紳士淑女風範,我要說,這部作品,對於那些為情所苦,忍受煎熬的人來説,是一種救贖。 雖然本書原來的名字叫做《埃莉諾與馬麗安》,這兩姐妹的個性迥異也正合後來的標...

Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing, but unsuitable John Willoughby, she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Meanwhile Elinor, always sensitive to social convention, is struggling to conceal her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her. Through their parallel experience of love - and its threatened loss - the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love.
虽然奥斯汀的作品视角局限于19世纪中上层阶级的男女之间的爱情故事,并总是顺着角色相识热恋、产生偏见、真相大白、美好结局的路线延续下去,但不得不让人承认,她的措辞句法精准巧妙令人拍案叫绝、文字风格生动活泼引人入胜、对于细节的描写也是入木三分--这也是我成为奥斯汀粉的原因之一。如此的文字驾驭能力是非英文为母语的学习者唯有拜读却无法习得的;从人物刻画的层面来说,作者在后者对例如Marianne失去挚爱、Elinor面对Willouby的坦白时等的心理变化描写更加灵活生动,有极强的代入感,会让人不由得与角色同喜同悲:喜时不自觉笑容洋溢,悲时也几欲落泪。从这个意义上说,S&S比P&P更加成功。

评分善戏谑,不为虐,Austen 到底温厚。才子佳人大团圆的皮,骨子里反言情,Eliza母女的悲剧在背景中如冤魂怨鬼盘旋不去。通往幸福之路,情感不只有理智的守护,亲情的守护也格外动人。只是 Mrs Dashwood 母女个个情感这么丰富,以至 Elino r每对 Marianne 剖白我都怕她忽然来一句“你当我是谁,我也是个淘气的”,大姐外冷内热,冷香丸怕是没少吃吧。
