书籍简介

简-奥斯汀的《苏珊夫人》、《沃特森一家》和《桑迪顿》收集了十九世纪伟大作家之一的三部鲜为人知的作品，由玛格丽特-德拉布尔在企鹅经典中编辑并作了介绍。

这三部短篇作品展示了奥斯汀对各种不同文学风格的尝试，从情节剧到讽刺剧，并探索了一系列社会阶层和环境。早期的书信体小说《苏珊夫人》描写了一个肆无忌惮的女郎，玩弄了几个男人的感情。相比之下，《沃特森一家》是一部令人愉快的片段，其活泼的女主人公艾玛-沃森发现她的婚姻机会受到了贫穷和骄傲的限制。未完成的小说《桑迪顿》写于奥斯汀生命的几个月，以一个新建立的海滨度假胜地为背景，提供了一个由疑病症患者和投机者组成的光辉形象，并展示了一位作者以怀疑和娱乐的态度来思考工业革命的巨大社会动荡。

玛格丽特-德拉布尔的介绍在简-奥斯汀的主要小说和她的生活背景下研究了这三部作品，并讨论了她小说的社会背景。该版本有一个新的年表。

简-奥斯汀（1775-1817年）对自己的天才极为谦虚，但却成为英国文学中著名的女作家之一。奥斯汀年轻时就开始写作，22岁时开始创作可能是她著名的作品《傲慢与偏见》。她也是《理智与情感》、《劝导》、《诺桑觉寺》和《曼斯菲尔德庄园》的作者。

如果你喜欢《苏珊夫人》、《沃特森一家》和《桑迪顿》，你可能会喜欢夏洛特-勃朗特的《安格利亚的故事》，也可在企鹅经典中找到。

在[桑迪顿]中，她发挥了她最大的天赋，她对对话的管理和对独白的技巧。这本书给人以开放和现代的感觉......和她早期的作品一样有活力和创造性。

Carol Shields

Collecting three lesser-known works by one of the nineteenth century's greatest authors, Jane Austen's Lady Susan, The Watsons and Sanditon is edited with an introduction by Margaret Drabble in Penguin Classics.

These three short works show Austen experimenting with a variety of different literary styles, from melodrama to satire, and exploring a range of social classes and settings. The early epistolary novel Lady Susan depicts an unscrupulous coquette, toying with the affections of several men. In contrast, The Watsons is a delightful fragment, whose spirited heroine Emma Watson finds her marriage opportunities limited by poverty and pride. Written in the last months of Austen's life, the uncompleted novel Sanditon, set in a newly established seaside resort, offers a glorious cast of hypochondriacs and speculators, and shows an author contemplating a the great social upheavals of the Industrial Revolution with a mixture of scepticism and amusement.

Margaret Drabble's introduction examines these three works in the context of Jane Austen's major novels and her life, and discusses the social background of her fiction. This edition features a new chronology.

Jane Austen (1775-1817) was extremely modest about her own genius but has become one of English literature's most famous women writers. Austen began writing at a young age, embarking on what is possibly her best-known work, Pride and Prejudice, at the age of 22. She was also the author of Sense and Sensibility, Persuasion, Northanger Abbey and Mansfield Park.

If you enjoyed Lady Susan, The Watsons and Sanditon, you may like Charlotte Bronte's Tales of Angria, also available in Penguin Classics.

'In [Sanditon] she exploits her greatest gifts, her management of dialogue and her skill with monologue. The book feels open and modern ... as vigorous and inventive as her earlier work'

Carol Shields
