内容简介
What does persuasion mean - a firm belief, or the action of persuading someone to think something else? Anne Elliot is one of Austen's quietest heroines, but also one of the strongest and the most open to change. She lives at the time of the Napoleonic wars, a time of accident, adventure, the making of new fortunes and alliances. A woman of no importance, she manoeuvres in her restricted circumstances as her long-time love Captain Wentworth did in the wars. Even though she is nearly thirty, well past the sell-by bloom of youth, Austen makes her win out for herself and for others like herself, in a regenerated society.
作者简介
简·奥斯丁(Jane Austen,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,因此她的作品里没有重大的社会矛盾。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。
Persuasion是1993年由WordsworthEditions出版,作者[英]简·奥斯汀。
