Jon Spence's fascinating biography of Jane Austen paints an intimate portrait of the much-loved novelist. Spence's meticulous research has, perhaps most notably, uncovered evidence that Austen and the charming young Irishman Tom Lefroy fell in love at the age of twenty and that the relationship inspired Pride and Prejudice, one of the most celebrated works of fiction ever written. Becoming Jane Austen gives the fullest account we have of the romance, which was more serious and more enduring than previously believed. Seeing this love story in the context of Jane Austen's whole life enables us to appreciate the profound effect the relationship had on her art and on subsequent choices that she made in her life.

Full of insight and with an attentive eye for detail, Spence explores Jane Austen's emotional attachments and the personal influences that shaped her as a novelist. His elegant narrative provides a point of entry into Jane Austen's world as she herself perceived and experienced it. It is a world familiar to us from her novels, but in Becoming Jane Austen, Austen herself is the heroine.

在简42年的短暂生命中，她的现实生活和其著作中表现的人物命运截然相反。她一生孤苦贫穷，在饥寒交迫中得肾病而死；她的感情之路诸多阻碍，不能和相爱的人步入婚姻。但她把自己对爱的向往，对美的感悟，全部注入了那些不朽的惊世作品中，给自己笔下的人物安排最妥帖合宜的条件...  

奥斯丁笔下的女性形象，穿着花边裙子，漫步在草地上，或者在宴会厅与家世显赫又仪表堂堂的男子跳着舞步。她们的世界有父母的催促、姐妹间的嫉妒，她们生活的全部却好像全都与爱情有关。嫁人作为一个终极话题，有时静止得像空气，呼吸其中浑然不觉，有时刮起微风，让人心神...  

在简·奥斯丁逝世100多年后，与她同国籍的天才女作家弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫在谈到女性与小说时发表了一个著名观点“A woman must have money and a room of own if she is to write fiction”。她自己做到了，她与丈夫买下蒙克之屋，有一个属于自己的写作的房子，而反观她的前辈...
