簡(jiǎn)·奧斯汀簡(jiǎn)介

奧斯汀終身未婚，家道小康。由于居住在鄉(xiāng)村小鎮(zhèn)，接觸到的是中小地主、牧師等人物以及他們恬靜、舒適的生活環(huán)境，因此她的作品里沒有重大的社會(huì)矛盾。她以女性特有的細(xì)致入微的觀察力，真實(shí)地描繪了她周圍世界的小天地，尤其是紳士淑女間的婚姻和愛情風(fēng)波。她的作品格調(diào)輕松詼諧，富有喜劇性沖突，深受讀者歡迎。奧斯汀的小說出現(xiàn)在19世紀(jì)初葉，一掃風(fēng)行一時(shí)的假浪漫主義潮流，繼承和發(fā)展了英國(guó)18世紀(jì)優(yōu)秀的現(xiàn)實(shí)主義傳統(tǒng)，為19世紀(jì)現(xiàn)實(shí)主義小說的高潮做了準(zhǔn)備。雖然其作品反映的廣度和深度有限，但她的作品如“兩寸牙雕”，從一個(gè)小窗口中窺視到整個(gè)社會(huì)形態(tài)和人情世故，對(duì)改變當(dāng)時(shí)小說創(chuàng)作中的庸俗風(fēng)氣起了好的作用，在英國(guó)小說的發(fā)展史上有承上啟下的意義，被譽(yù)為地位“可與莎士比亞平起平坐”的作家。

Jane Austen (16 December 1775 – 18 July 1817) was an English novelist whose works of romantic fiction, set among the landed gentry, earned her a place as one of the most widely read writers in English literature. Her realism, biting irony and social commentary have gained her historical importance among scholars and critics.

Austen lived her entire life as part of a close-knit family located on the lower fringes of the English landed gentry. She was educated primarily by her father and older brothers as well as through her own reading. The steadfast support of her family was critical to her development as a professional writer. Her artistic apprenticeship lasted from her teenage years into her thirties.

During this period, she experimented with various literary forms, including the epistolary novel which she then abandoned, and wrote and extensively revised three major novels and began a fourth. From 1811 until 1816, with the release of Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1816), she achieved success as a published writer. She wrote two additional novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, both published posthumously in 1818, and began a third, which was eventually titled Sanditon, but died before completing it.

Austen's works critique the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century realism. Her plots, though fundamentally comic, highlight the dependence of women on marriage to secure social standing and economic security.
