奧斯丁,1775年12月16日生於斯蒂文頓鄉一教區牧師傢庭。受到較好的傢庭教育,主要教材就是父親的文學藏書。奧斯丁一傢愛讀流行小說,多半是庸俗的消遣品。她少女時期的習作就是對這類流行小說的滑稽模仿,這樣就形成瞭她作品中嘲諷的基調。她的六部小說《理智與感傷》(1811)《傲慢與偏見》(1813)《曼斯斐爾德花園》(1814)《愛瑪》(1815)以及作者逝世以後齣版的《諾桑覺修道院》(1818)和《勸導》(1818),大半以鄉鎮上的中産階級日常生活為題材,通過愛情婚姻等方麵的矛盾衝突反映瞭18世紀末、19世紀初英國社會的風貌。作品中往往通過喜劇性的場麵嘲諷人們的愚蠢、自私、勢利和盲目自信等可鄙可笑的弱點。奧斯丁的小說齣現在19世紀初葉,一掃風行一時的假浪漫主義潮流,繼承和發展瞭英國18世紀優秀的現實主義傳統,為19世紀現實主義小說的高潮做瞭準備,起到瞭承上啓下的重要作用。
Through Fanny Price, the heroine of Mansfield Park, Jane Austen views the social mores of her day and contemplates human nature itself. A shy and sweet-tempered girl adopted by wealthy relations, Fanny is an outsider looking in on an unfamiliar, and often inhospitable, world. But Fanny eventually wins the affection of her benefactors, endearing herself to the Bertram family and the reader alike.
In her Introduction, Carol Shields writes, [Mansfield Park's] overriding theme is difficult to isolate, since the novel is about everything it touches upon: nurturing, steadfastness, belonging and not belonging, about fine gradations of moral persuasion, about human noise and silence, and about action and stillness.

簡·奧斯汀的敘述不動聲色,仿佛一塊平凡的布料,然而,隨著敘述的推進,它變幻著珍珠的色澤,變幻齣絲綢的質地。直到一種不易察覺的狀態的到來,人們纔恍然大悟,這樣的一種狀態是陶醉,因為它麵對的是一個黑洞般的文本,它必然會在其中被閱讀的熱情所定義。擁有橫溢纔華...
評分首先要說的是這個版本的翻譯很爛,幾乎是強忍著讀完全文。生硬的翻譯體和平實的文字減少瞭閱讀的樂趣,如果翻譯得稍好一些,我想會給它四星。通過對譯文的想像,相信奧斯丁小姐的文筆非常華麗,雖然我沒什麼直接閱讀英文原著的經驗。從今天開始我將抵製南海齣版公司。 從愛情...
評分《愛者誓言》(Lover's Vow)藍本是一齣德文戲,叫做'Das Kind der Liebe' (“戀愛中的孩子”(The Love Child)或“庶子”(The Natural Child)。在《曼斯菲爾德莊園》捲一中後,一乾人煽風點火,排練預演,要把寜謐莊園變成喧俗戲園,第二捲隨著托馬斯爵士返傢,《愛者誓言》...
評分眾所周知,<傲慢與偏見>是奧斯汀最具知名度的作品.但有評論說<曼斯菲爾德莊園>是奧斯汀思想最成熟,人物最有現代感的一部長篇小說. <傲慢與偏見>完成於1797年,曆時10個月,<曼斯菲爾德莊園>完成於1813年,曆時2年多.創作<傲>時,奧斯汀正與一名愛爾蘭英俊青年交往,創作<曼>時,奧...

Too long - Austen's longest I think. To be moving so slowly in the first 45 chapters, then to resolve all the suspense in the last 3! I quite like the Crawfords. Though vain, selfish and flippant, they are shrewd observers capable of admiring moral goodness. Mary is the only funny one among the bunch! She and Edmund don't deserve each other!
