Pride and Prejudice
Few have failed to be charmed by the witty and independent spirit of Elizabeth Bennet. Her early determination to dislike Mr. Darcy is a prejudice only matched by the folly of his arrogant pride. Their first impressions give way to true feelings in a comedy profoundly concerned with happiness and how it might be achieved. Edited with an Introduction by Vivien Jones -
A Memoir of Jane Austen
Review `a must for lovers of Austen's work' Choice Magazine `A very good introduction by Kathryn Sutherland' Derwent May, the Times, Book Description 'I doubt whether it would be possible to mention any author of note, whose personal obscurity was so complete.' James Edward Austen-Leigh's Memoir of his aunt Jane Austen was published in 1870, over fifty years after her death. Together with the shorter recollections of James Edward's two sisters, Anna Lefroy and Caroline Austen, the Memoir remains the prime authority for her life and continues to inform all subsequent accounts. These are family memories, the record of Jane Austen's life shaped and limited by the loyalties, reserve, and affection of nieces and nephews recovering in old age the outlines of the young aunt they had each known. They still remembered the shape of her bonnet and the tone of her voice, and their first-hand accounts bring her vividly before us. Their declared partiality also raises fascinating issues concerning biographical truth, and the terms in which all biography functions. This edition brings together for the first time these three memoirs, and also includes Jane's brother Henry Austen's 'Biographical Notice' of 1818 and his lesser known 'Memoir' of 1833, making a unique biographical record. -

Jane Austen
The novels of Jane Austen depict a world of civility, reassuring stability and continuity, which generations of readers have supposed was the world she herself inhabited. Claire Tomalin's biography paints a surprisingly different picture of the Austen family and their Hampshire neighbours, and of Jane's progress through a difficult childhood, an unhappy love affair, her experiences as a poor relation and her decision to reject a marriage that would solve all her problems - except that of continuing as a writer. Both the woman and the novels are radically reassessed in this biography. -
简·奥斯汀的世界
本书以一种平缓的语气讲述了那个时代的生活方式和社会习俗,以及受古希腊文化启发的优雅的风尚和当时田园牧歌式的生活景致。书中有简·奥斯汀和她的家人、朋友生活中不同时期的简介、短文、画像、爱好。感情和她的作品,从最早的童年时期的写作片段到她创作出的伟大的小。书中,除了对这个直接的焦点进行描写,还描写了当时的社会背景。从重大的政治问题,战争和奴隶制到文化领域的风景园艺。绘画,温泉,疗养地,旅游胜地和上流社会,简·奥斯汀曾经写道:“乡村的三四户人家是恰当的写作背景。”然而小说是在大的写作背景下发生的,而玛吉·莱恩的写作方法正是简·奥斯汀完全固定在一个历史背景环境中。我们能看到摄政时期人们关心的事物,当时的社会,文化都展现在小说里。 -
