Here are some of the remarkable features of Barnes & Noble Classics : New introductions commissioned from today's top writers and scholars Biographies of the authors Chronologies of contemporary historical, biographical, and cultural events Footnotes and endnotes Selective discussions of imitations, parodies, poems, books, plays, paintings, operas, statuary, and films inspired by the work Comments by other famous authors Study questions to challenge the reader's viewpoints and expectations Bibliographies for further reading Indices & Glossaries, when appropriateAll editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest. Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influences—biographical, historical, and literary—to enrich each reader's understanding of these enduring works. In her final novel, as in her earlier ones, Jane Austen uses a love story to explore and gently satirize social pretensions and emotional confusion. Persuasion follows the romance of Anne Elliot and naval officer Frederick Wentworth. They were happily engaged until Anne’s friend, Lady Russell, persuaded her that Frederick was “unworthy.” Now, eight years later, Frederick returns, a wealthy captain in the navy, while Anne’s family teeters on the edge of bankruptcy. They still love each other, but their past mistakes threaten to keep them apart.
Austen may seem to paint on a small canvas, but her characters contain the full range of human passion and moral complexity, and the author’s generous spirit renders them all with understanding, compassion, and humor.
Susan ostrov Weisser is a professor of English at Adelphi University, where she specializes in nineteenth-century literature and women’s studies. Weisser also wrote the introduction to the Barnes & Noble Classics edition of Jane Eyre .

評分這是簡最為傷感的作品。 早年那個輕鬆歡快的麗萃終於變成瞭隱忍沉靜的安妮,姑娘還是那個姑娘,就是老瞭。雅緻的嘲諷依舊,但那已非小女孩的玩笑而是滄桑過後對人世的批判。我看到的是簡的宿命和無奈,那個可愛的溫特沃斯何嘗不是達西的化身,那是簡給自己的又一個安慰,同時又...
評分作為一名中年阿姨,我來告訴你們這本小說的價值。 因為風靡的原因,大傢對奧斯丁小說的印象往往産生誤解,最容易把它們歸結為“女性小說”,以為它們講的是浪漫愛情故事,它們的受眾多是憧憬浪漫愛情的少女。實則不然,奧斯丁的故事錶麵上的確是在講紳士淑女們如何相識、戀愛,...
