奥斯丁,1775年12月16日生于斯蒂文顿乡一教区牧师家庭。受到较好的家庭教育,主要教材就是父亲的文学藏书。奥斯丁一家爱读流行小说,多半是庸俗的消遣品。她少女时期的习作就是对这类流行小说的滑稽模仿,这样就形成了她作品中嘲讽的基调。她的六部小说《理智与感伤》(1811)《傲慢与偏见》(1813)《曼斯斐尔德花园》(1814)《爱玛》(1815)以及作者逝世以后出版的《诺桑觉修道院》(1818)和《劝导》(1818),大半以乡镇上的中产阶级日常生活为题材,通过爱情婚姻等方面的矛盾冲突反映了18世纪末、19世纪初英国社会的风貌。作品中往往通过喜剧性的场面嘲讽人们的愚蠢、自私、势利和盲目自信等可鄙可笑的弱点。奥斯丁的小说出现在19世纪初叶,一扫风行一时的假浪漫主义潮流,继承和发展了英国18世纪优秀的现实主义传统,为19世纪现实主义小说的高潮做了准备,起到了承上启下的重要作用。
Mansfield Park , by Jane Austen , is part of the Barnes & Noble Classics series, which offers quality editions at affordable prices to the student and the general reader, including new scholarship, thoughtful design, and pages of carefully crafted extras. Here are some of the remarkable features of Barnes & Noble Classics :
All editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest. Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influencesbiographical, historical, and literaryto enrich each reader's understanding of these enduring works. 0in 0in 0pt">From its sharply satiric opening sentence, Mansfield Park dealas with money and marriage, and how strongly they affect each other. Shy, fragile Fanny Price is the consummate "poor relation." Sent to live with her wealthy uncle Thomas, she clashes with his spoiled, selfish daughters and falls in love with his son. Their lives are further complicated by the arrival of a pair of witty, sophisticated Londoners, whose flair for flirtation collides with the quiet, conservative country ways of Mansfield Park.
Written several years after the early manuscripts that eventually became Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice , Mansfield Park retains Austen ’s familiar compassion and humor but offers a far more complex exploration of moral choices and their emotional consequences.

现代资产阶级家庭是建立在什么基础上的呢,是建立在资本上面,是建立在私人发财上面的。 ---《共产党宣言》 假如说巴尔扎克使马克思受益斐浅,那么奥斯丁就使得许多知识女性得到了关于婚姻本质的启示。但是一个值得注意的现象就是,大部分改编自其原著的影视作品只是刻意去展...
评分一个不太让人容易引起兴趣的名字,看似不太让人轻易靠近的开端。但却让人越读越痴迷,越读越有兴致。 因为我在读到一半时,已经将其定位于英国版的《红楼梦》。 首先,范妮进入曼斯菲尔德庄园的情形与林黛玉进入贾府的情形是如此的相似。不同之处在于,一个是兄弟姐妹太多...
评分范妮这个黛玉之所以求仁得仁完全由于奥斯丁硬要让她上位。从默默无闻到派对女王只是因为两个表姐去了伦敦。 她拒绝克劳福德少爷那时如履薄冰,前途堪忧,还回到了穷父母身边,不料已婚大表姐和克劳福德少爷私奔,二表姐也有样学样跟人跑了。范妮被急招回曼斯菲尔德。还捎上家...
评分首先要说的是这个版本的翻译很烂,几乎是强忍着读完全文。生硬的翻译体和平实的文字减少了阅读的乐趣,如果翻译得稍好一些,我想会给它四星。通过对译文的想像,相信奥斯丁小姐的文笔非常华丽,虽然我没什么直接阅读英文原著的经验。从今天开始我将抵制南海出版公司。 从爱情...
评分实话实说,这本书的阅读过程无趣的要命,早在把它列为“在读”状态时的短评中,我就不无诧异风格为何与《pride and prejudice》&《sense and sensibility》如此迥异?及至读完都说不出到底什么感觉,每个人物都是脸谱式的,本就套路化的英国乡村爱情就更加平平无奇,女主角Fann...
