For so many of us a Jane Austen novel is much more than the epitome of a great read. It is a delight and a solace, a challenge and a reward, and perhaps even an obsession. For two centuries Austen has enthralled readers. Few other authors can claim as many fans or as much devotion. So why are we so fascinated with her novels? What is it about her prose that has made Jane Austen so universally beloved?
In essays culled from the last one hundred years of criticism juxtaposed with new pieces by some of today’s most popular novelists and essayists, Jane Austen’s writing is examined and discussed, from her witty dialogue to the arc and sweep of her story lines. Great authors and literary critics of the past offer insights into the timelessness of her moral truths while highlighting the unique confines of the society in which she composed her novels. Virginia Woolf examines Austen’s maturation as an artist and speculates on how her writing would have changed if she’d lived twenty more years, while C. S. Lewis celebrates Austen’s mirthful, ironic take on traditional values.
Modern voices celebrate Austen’s amazing legacy with an equal amount of eloquence and enthusiasm. Fay Weldon reads Mansfield Park as an interpretation of Austen’s own struggle to be as “good” as Fanny Price. Anna Quindlen examines the enduring issues of social pressure and gender politics that make Pride and Prejudice as vital today as ever. Alain de Botton praises Mansfield Park for the way it turns Austen’s societal hierarchy on its head. Amy Bloom finds parallels between the world of Persuasion and Austen’s own life. And Amy Heckerling reveals how she transformed the characters of Emma into denizens of 1990s Beverly Hills for her comedy Clueless. From Harold Bloom to Martin Amis, Somerset Maugham to Jay McInerney, Eudora Welty to Margot Livesey, each writer here reflects on Austen’s place in both the literary canon and our cultural imagination.
We read, and then reread, our favorite Austen novels to connect with both her world and our own. Because, as A Truth Universally Acknowledged so eloquently demonstrates, the only thing better than reading a Jane Austen novel is finding in our own lives her humor, emotion, and love.

(簡•奧斯丁,在英國小說的發展史上有承上啓下的意義,被譽為地位“可與莎士比亞平起平坐”的作傢。)
C.S. Lewis, Diane Johnson,Ian Watt的很好,Alain De Botton的井井有條,W.Somerset Maugham非常八卦,Woolf的是傳統名篇,Byatt那篇其實很透徹,翻譯成漢語有一定難度,有兩位紐約客作者,都寫得不怎麼樣,不如紐約書評

简•奥斯丁在一次参加汉普郡的宴会后,回家拿起笔写道:“波利特太太的裙子十分昂贵,可是,花了这么多钱,她竟然衣不遮体。倒是让我们欣赏了她裙子的花边和平纹细布面料。”跨十八、十九世纪的奥斯丁,大约难以理解我们现今的穿着时尚竞逐“衣不遮体”了,昔日的温婉讽刺...
評分夜阑人静,睡前翻看《举世公理-- 三十三位名作家论为何读简.奥斯丁》(A Truth Universally Acknowledged-- 33 Great Writers on Why We Read Jane Austen),倒并非报刊上小豆腐块,一天读一两篇,养心怡神,像不间断的热茶疗法。 我很难专心一意对待一位作者,读完书再狗仔背...
評分摘自《东方早报》 作者:李公明 似乎是有点凑巧,近日买的两种书虽然都不是哈罗德•布鲁姆写的,但又都与他大有关系。“布鲁姆文学地图译丛”(上海交通大学出版社,2011年7月、8月)一下出了六本:巴黎、伦敦、罗马、都柏林、纽约、圣彼得堡,这六个都市的文学地图。布鲁...
評分这本书主要涉及到两册简·奥斯丁的作品《傲慢与偏见》和《曼斯菲尔德庄园》,前者写于1813年,后者作于1811年,内容与文风大同小异,都是关于家族与爱情的冲突故事,历史背景都放置在西方社会由农庄经济向资本主义过度时期,所以,没有读过简·奥斯丁作品的读者可以绕开了。 回...
評分1.第91页,提到了Monk Lewis,其实指的是写了哥特小说“Monk: A Romance"的Matthew Lewis,世人因为这部作品称之为僧人刘易斯(Monk Lewis)。译者似乎是不太了解那个时期的文学,所以直接翻译成了蒙克•刘易斯。 2.第135页,“安妮在凯林奇庄园的家中没有地位,‘她不过是安...
