作者简介
Jane Austen (1775–1817) stands as one of the most revered novelists in the English literary canon, known particularly for her incisive social commentary and masterful use of free indirect speech, irony, and wit. Born in Steventon, Hampshire, Austen was the seventh of eight children. Although her family belonged to the lower fringes of the English gentry, Austen was able to gain a good education and began writing in her teens. Her novels often explore the dependence of women on marriage for social standing and economic security, and reflect her insight into the lives of early 19th-century British society. Among her major novels are 'Pride and Prejudice,' 'Sense and Sensibility,' 'Mansfield Park,' 'Emma,' 'Northanger Abbey,' and 'Persuasion.' 'Sanditon,' her final and incomplete novel, was written in the months before her death and published posthumously. It continues Austen's tradition in exploring social mores, this time focusing on a developing seaside resort. Though uncompleted, 'Sanditon' provides valuable insights into Austen's evolving style and perspective. Her works have endured in popularity and continue to be celebrated for their timeless relevance, psychological depth, and for paving a path for future women writers. Austen's sharp critique of the societal norms of her time, wrapped in the trappings of romantic narratives, ensures her lasting legacy in both academia and popular culture.
