Jon Spence is an American and was educated at King's College, London University. He has lived abroad for many years and now divides his time between London and Sydney. He is the editor of A Century of Wills from Jane Austen's Family and Jane Austen's Brother Abroad: The Grand Tour Journals of Edward Austen. He acted as Historical Consultant on the film Becoming Jane.
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.

她沒有選擇愛情,也沒有選擇金錢,她選擇瞭孤獨,選擇瞭與時光對弈,她在等待時光。 她叫簡奧斯汀。 這是怎樣的一個女子? 清高、難搞、瀟灑、敏感、感性、理智、恬靜、端莊、倔強、獨立…… 任時光流轉,她自孤獨中花開花落,留下無言的秘密,任我們在殘棋中尋尋覓覓。 仿佛看...
評分“啓程與年少永不跌落的靈魂會選擇自由與愛,寜願嫁給孤獨與歲月,而不是嫁給婚姻。” 這本書是《成為簡·奧斯丁》電影原著,相對於思考,這個時代的人好像更願意看現成的答案,有不明白的要馬上提問、反駁,而不從不自己思考為什麼會有分歧,會有不理解。有位前輩認為這是為...
評分奧斯丁筆下的女性形象,穿著花邊裙子,漫步在草地上,或者在宴會廳與傢世顯赫又儀錶堂堂的男子跳著舞步。她們的世界有父母的催促、姐妹間的嫉妒,她們生活的全部卻好像全都與愛情有關。嫁人作為一個終極話題,有時靜止得像空氣,呼吸其中渾然不覺,有時颳起微風,讓人心神...

評分很清新的影片
評分是先看瞭電影再看的書, 感覺還蠻好
評分"God grant me patience, pray for me oh pray for me." 不可避免的人生,永遠不知道哪一點、哪個人、哪件事使它變成悲劇。慶祝新生仇恨死亡衰老浪費無所事事。生命是虛偽的,生活是無意義的。
