书籍简介

《傲慢与偏见》（英文名：《Pride and Prejudice》）是英国女小说家简·奥斯汀创作的长篇小说。

小说描写了小乡绅班纳特五个待字闺中的千金，班纳特太太整天操心着为女儿们物色未来的丈夫。主角是二女儿伊丽莎白·班纳特，她在舞会上认识了仪表堂堂、家境富裕的达西，但是耳闻他为人傲慢，一直对他心生排斥，经历一番周折，伊丽莎白解除了对达西的偏见，达西也放下傲慢，有情人终成眷属。在《傲慢与偏见》中，奥斯汀还写了伊丽莎白的几个姐妹和女友的婚事，以此与女主人公理想的婚姻相对照。《傲慢与偏见》通过班纳特五个女儿对待婚姻大事的不同处理方式，表现出乡镇中产阶级对婚姻爱情问题的不同态度，也反映了作者本人的婚姻观：为了财产、金钱和地位而结婚是错误的。奥斯汀强调理想婚姻的重要性，并认为男女双方的感情应作为缔结理想婚姻的基石。小说以日常生活为素材，一反当时社会上流行的感伤小说内容和矫揉造作的写作方法，写出了18世纪末到19世纪初处于保守和闭塞状态下的英国乡镇生活和世态人情，并多次被改编成电影和电视剧。

埃洛伊萨-詹姆斯的后记

Jane Austen's witty comedy of manners is one of the most universally loved and admired English novels of all time.

“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.”

The Bennets are a family of five daughters, and with no male heir, the Bennet estate must someday pass to their priggish cousin Mr. Collins. Therefore, with no fortune or security of their own, the girls must marry well—and thus is launched the story of spirited and opinionated Elizabeth Bennet and the arrogant and aloof bachelor Mr. Darcy.  

An entertaining portrait of nineteenth century matrimonial rites and rivalries, Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is timeless in its hilarity and honesty. As Elizabeth and Darcy’s first impressions lead to civilized sparring and ultimately true and enduring love, it becomes clear why this masterwork renowned for its romance and wit.

作者简介

简·奥斯汀（Jane Austen），1775年12月生于英国汉普郡的史蒂文顿，兄弟姐妹八人。父亲在该地担任了四十多年的教区长。母亲出身于比较富有的家庭，也具有一定的文化修养。她在十三四岁就开始写东西。1796年，21岁的奥斯汀写成她的处女作，题名《z初的印象》。同年，她又开始写《埃莉诺与玛丽安》，以后她又写《诺桑觉寺》，于1799年写完。十几年后，《z初的印象》经过改写，换名为《傲慢与偏见》，《埃莉诺与玛丽安》经过改写，换名为《理智与情感》，分别得到出版。

Jane Austen (1775-1817) was born in Hampshire, England, to George Austen, a rector, and his wife, Cassandra. Like many girls of her day, she was educated at home, where she began her literary career by writing parodies and skits for the amusement of her large family. Although Austen did not marry, she did have several suitors and once accepted a marriage proposal, but only for an evening. Although Austen never lived apart from her family, her work shows a worldly and wise sensibility. Her novels include Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), Emma (1815), and Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, published together posthumously in 1818.

Margaret Drabble is the highly acclaimed novelist, biographer, and editor of The Oxford Companion to English Literature. Her novels include The Gates of Ivory, The Seven Sisters, and The Red Queen.

New York Times bestselling author Eloisa James’s historical Regencies have been published to great acclaim; People magazine raved that “romance writing does not get much better than this.” Her numerous novels have repeatedly received starred reviews from Publishers Weekly, and regularly appear on the bestseller lists. James is also a professor of English literature at Fordham University.
