關於作者
Jane Austen (1775-1817) was an English novelist known for her keen observations of early 19th-century English society. Her works are celebrated for their wit, social commentary, and pioneering use of free indirect speech, a literary technique that blends third-person narration with the subjective experience of her characters. Born on December 16, 1775, in Steventon, Hampshire, Austen was the seventh of eight children. Her education was received largely at home under her father's guidance and through her own voracious reading. Austen's intimate circle, especially her family, played a crucial role in her development as a writer, with her environment featuring prominently in her works. Among her six completed novels, 'Emma', published in 1815, stands out as a masterpiece of English literature. Its protagonist, Emma Woodhouse, is a well-intentioned but misguided young woman who fancies herself a matchmaker in her small village, leading to several misadventures and, eventually, personal growth. Ostensibly a comedy of manners, 'Emma' delves deeply into the issues of class, gender, and the pursuit of happiness. Austen's narrative style in 'Emma', characterized by irony and the scrutinizing of social norms, has been widely acclaimed and has cemented her place as one of the most important and influential writers in the English canon. Despite the limited social scope of her novels—they are primarily concerned with English country gentry—Austen's works continue to attract readers globally due to their timeless themes and the universality of her characters' emotional experiences. Her other famous works include 'Pride and Prejudice', 'Sense and Sensibility', 'Mansfield Park', 'Northanger Abbey', and 'Persuasion'.
