【作者简介】


  简·奥斯丁(JaneAusten,1775-1817),英国小说家。生于乡村小镇斯蒂文顿,父亲是当地教区牧师。奥斯丁没上过正规学校,在父母指导下,她阅读了大量文学作品。20岁左右,奥斯丁开始写作,共发表了6部长篇小说。
  奥斯丁终身未婚,由于她住在乡村小镇,生活环境恬静、舒适,作品主要描绘她在狭小生活圈子里熟悉的中产阶级家庭生活、青年男女的恋爱婚姻等。她以女性特有的细致入微的观察力,真实地描绘了她周围的小天地,尤其是绅士淑女间的婚姻和爱情。她的作品格调轻松诙谐,富有喜剧性冲突,深受读者欢迎。


【媒体评论】

 ◆阅读了奥斯丁女士的一部小说,消磨了整个晚上。她的作品里描绘的真实性总是使我感到愉快。的确,它们所描绘的并没有超出中产阶级社会,但是她在这方面确是无人能够企及的。" --历史小说家司各特

  Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition, seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence; and had lived nearly twenty-one years in the world with very little to distress or vex her.
  She was the youngest of the two daughters of a most affectionate, indulgent father, and had, in consequence of her sister's marriage, been mistress of his house from a very early period. Her mother had died too long ago for her to have more than an indistinct remembrance of her caresses, and her place had been supplied by an excellent woman as governess, who had fallen little short of a mother in affection.
  Sixteen years had Miss Taylor been in Mr. Woodhouse's family, less as a governess than a friend, very fond of both daughters, but particularly of Emma. Between them it was more the intimacy of sisters. Even before Miss Taylor had ceased to hold the nominal office of governess, the mildness of her temper had hardly allowed her to impose any restraint; and the shadow of authority being now long passed away, they had been living together as friend and friend very mutually attached, and Emma doing just what she liked; highly esteeming Miss Taylor's judgment, but directed chiefly by her own.
  The real evils indeed of Emma's situation were the power of having rather too much her own way, and a disposition to think a little too well of herself; these were the disadvantages which threatened alloy to her many enjoyments. The danger, however, was at present so unperceived,
  that they did not by any means rank as misfortunes with her.
  Sorrow came-a gentle sorrow-but not at all in the shape of any isagreeable consciousness.-Miss Taylor married. It was Miss Taylor's loss which first brought grief. It was on the wedding-day of this beloved friend that Emma first sat in mournful thought of any continuance.
  The wedding over and the bride-people gone, her father and herself were left to dine together, with no prospect of a third to cheer a long evening. Her father composed himself to sleep after dinner, as usual, and she had then only to sit and think of what she had lost.
