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。
The little girl performed her long journey in safety; and at Northampton was met by Mrs. Norris, who thus regaled in the credit of being foremost to welcome her, and in the importance of leading her in to the others, and recommending her to their kindness. Fanny Price was at this time just ten years old, and though there might not be much in her first appearance to captivate, there was, at least, nothing to disgust her relations. She was small of her age, with no glow of complexion, nor any other striking beauty; exceedingly timid and shy, and shrinking from notice; but her air, though awkward, was not vulgar, her voice was sweet, and when she spoke her countenance was pretty. Sir Thomas and Lady Bertram received her very kindly; and Sir Thomas, seeing how much she needed encouragement, tried to be all that was conciliating: but he had to work against a most untoward gravity of deportment; and Lady Bertram, without taking half so much trouble, or speaking one word where he spoke ten, by the mere aid of a good-humored smile, became immediately the less awful character of the two. . . .
I decided to close read/reread Jane Austen's novels, started from Pride and Prejudice and now finished Mansfield Park. Pride and Prejudice is more witty and funny (and more popular). But Mansfield Park gets its credit onmoral discipline, reflecting change i...
评分其实读原著已是很早以前的事了,记得读的时候很有些不耐烦,毕竟灰姑娘式的女主人公范妮并不是一个很讨人喜欢的姑娘:纤弱易感,腼腆胆怯,罕言寡语,她不像伊丽莎白那样活泼风趣,不像爱玛那样生机勃勃,不像安妮那样一往情深,甚至不像凯瑟琳那样淳朴娇憨。诚然,她识大体,...
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...
评分《爱者誓言》(Lover's Vow)蓝本是一出德文戏,叫做'Das Kind der Liebe' (“恋爱中的孩子”(The Love Child)或“庶子”(The Natural Child)。在《曼斯菲尔德庄园》卷一中后,一干人煽风点火,排练预演,要把宁谧庄园变成喧俗戏园,第二卷随着托马斯爵士返家,《爱者誓言》...
评分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...
