Pride and Prejudice

Jane Austen (1775-1817) was born in Hampshire, England, to George Austen, a rector, and his wife, Cassandra. Like many girls of her day, she was educated at home, where she began her literary career by writing parodies and skits for the amusement of her large family. Although Austen did not marry, she did have several suitors and once accepted a marriage proposal, but only for an evening. Although Austen never lived apart from her family, her work shows a worldly and wise sensibility. Her novels include Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), Emma (1815), and Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, published together posthumously in 1818.

Pride and Prejudice is a romance novel by Jane Austen, first published in 1813. The story charts the emotional development of the protagonist, Elizabeth Bennet, who learns the error of making hasty judgments and comes to appreciate the difference between the superficial and the essential. The comedy of the writing lies in the depiction of manners, education, marriage, and money in the British Regency.

Mr. Bennet of the Longbourn estate has five daughters, but his property is entailed, meaning that none of the girls can inherit it. His wife has no fortune, so it is imperative that at least one of the girls marry well in order to support the others on his death. Jane Austen's opening line, “It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife" is a sentence filled with irony and playfulness. The novel revolves around the importance of marrying for love, not simply for money, despite the social pressures to make a good (i.e., wealthy) match.

Pride and Prejudice retains the fascination of modern readers, consistently appearing near the top of lists of "most-loved books" among both literary scholars and the general public. It has become one of the most popular novels in English literature, with over 20 million copies sold, and paved the way for many archetypes that abound in modern literature. Continuing interest in the book has resulted in a number of dramatic adaptations and an abundance of novels and stories imitating Austen's memorable characters or themes.[1] The 2005 film, Pride and Prejudice, starring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen is the most recent Hollywood adaption of the book.

记得多年前在上海电台听到这样一档节目；谈谈文学名著中你最喜欢的女性。有不少听众打去了电话。有一个年轻男性在电话中说他最喜欢《傲慢与偏见》中的伊丽莎白，当主持人询问理由时，他想了一会儿，回答说喜欢她的聪明幽默。显然主持人不太满意他的回答，想自己补充几句，...  

本人孤陋寡闻，知道中国有人毕生研究一本书《红楼梦》的，一辈子只研究这一本，还有红学会。 我似乎也听说外国有人专门研究《荷马史诗》和《神曲》，不过真的不知道有没有人专门研究《傲慢与偏见》的。 反正，我自己研究这本书。 假如，你真的爱一个人，你怎么表达？ 写情书...

高中时热衷于阅读各种标榜个人学识的书，真正看进去的却不多。不过还是较早就接触到了卡夫卡博尔赫斯克里斯那穆提之众。傲慢与偏见早闻大名，当时在一个不怎么爱看书家境良好的高傲女孩家中看到她在看，顺口问她觉得怎么样，她轻描淡写地说还蛮好看的，于是淡忘到最近记起来。...
