《傲慢与偏见》主讲了奥斯汀的讽刺艺术,不仅表现在某些人物的喜剧性格上,也不仅表现在众多情节的喜剧性处理上,而且还融汇在整个故事的反讽构思中,让现实对人们的主观臆想进行嘲讽。男主角达西最初断定,贝内特家有那么多不利因素,几个女儿很难找到有地位的男人,可后来恰恰是他娶了伊丽莎白。而伊丽莎白呢,她曾发誓决不嫁给达西,可最后还是由她做了达西夫人。再看看那个不可一世的凯瑟琳·德布尔夫人,为了阻止伊丽莎白与她外甥达西攀亲,她不辞辛劳,亲自出马,先是跑来威吓伊丽莎白,继而跑去训诫达西,殊不知正是她这次奔走为两位默默相恋的青年通了信息,促成了他们的美满结合。更令人啼笑皆非的是,就在这几位“智者”受到现实嘲弄的同时,书中那位最可笑的“愚人”贝内特太太,最后却被证明是最正确的。她认为:“有钱的单身汉总要娶位太太,这是一条举世公认的真理。”这种荒谬与“真理”的滑稽转化,尽管超越了一般意义上的是非观念,但却体现了作者对生活的深刻思索。
内容简介
The Penguin English Library Edition of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.
'No sooner had he made it clear to himself and his friends that she had hardly a good feature in her face, than he began to find it was rendered uncommonly intelligent by the beautiful expression of her dark eyes ...'
When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he is indifferent to her good looks and lively mind. When she later discovers that Darcy has involved himself in the troubled relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever. In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, Jane Austen shows the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life.
The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.
作者简介
Jane Austen was born on December 16, 1775 at Steventon near Basingstoke, the seventh child of the rector of the parish. She lived with her family at Steventon until they moved to Bath when her father retired in 1801. After his death in 1805, she moved around with her mother; in 1809, they settled in Chawton, near Alton, Hampshire. Here she remained, except for a few visits to London, until in May 1817 she moved to Winchester to be near her doctor. There she died on July 18, 1817.
As a girl
Jane Austen wrote stories, including burlesques of popular romances. Her works were only published after much revision, four novels being published in her lifetime. These are Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1816). Two other novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, were published posthumously in 1818 with a biographical notice by her brother, Henry Austen, the first formal announcement of her authorship. Persuasion was written in a race against failing health in 1815-16. She also left two earlier compositions, a short epistolary novel, Lady Susan, and an unfinished novel, The Watsons. At the time of her death, she was working on a new novel, Sanditon, a fragmentary draft of which survives.
