Jane Austen, página 9 de 87

Pubblicato nel 1814, ebbe talmente successo da essere tradotto in lingua francese gia nel 1816. Di grande impatto e influenza nella storia della cultura e della letteratura britannica, nel 2000 venne girata una trasposizione cinematografica e nel 2007 fu prodotto un film per la televisione inglese dal titolo omonimo. È unopera da leggere perche la protagonista, Fanny Price, ha tratti diverse da tutti gli altri personaggi femminili usciti dalla penna di Jane Austen: priva di senso dellumorismo, priva di consapevolezza e di irruenza, rappresenta il trionfo del buon senso e della riservatezza. Da un certo punto di vista e il personaggio piu passivo del romanzo, ma e anche quello che risulta vincitore. Da un punto di vista alternativo e la rappresentazione umana dellInghilterra rurale allinizio del Settecento, immobile e pacata, basata su solidi valori, che si contrapponeva ai rumorosi vagiti iniziali della rivoluzione industriale. Uneroina positiva, da riscoprire allinterno di un classico della letteratura inglese. Allinterno - come in tutti i volumi Fermento - gli "Indicatori" per consentire al lettore un agevole viaggio dentro il libro.

Sense and Sensibility is the first published novel by Jane Austen. Originally published under the pseudonym "A Lady," Sense and Sensibility tells the story of the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne, who, upon the death of their father, are left in reduced circumstances to live on the country estate of a distant relative. At Barton Park, the Dashwood sisters engage in romances with the reserved Edward Ferrars, the dashing yet fickle Mr. Willoughby, and the gentlemanly Colonel Brandon, and eventually find the fulfillment of their romantic yearnings.

Sense and Sensibility (1811) is Jane Austens first published novel. It is a book about love and romance that follows the life of Elinor and Marianne Dashwood. When their father dies and his property goes to his son and first wife, the Dashwood sisters move with their family to live in a modest cottage in Devonshire where start their romantic adventures and heartbreaks. The cottage belongs to their mothers cousin Sir John Middleton who welcomes them and presents them to his family and friends. One of Johns friends, Colonel Brandon, soon falls in love with Marianne, yet the latter finds him unattractive and too old for her age. She later meets the philandering John Willoughby and becomes interested in him to be drowned in grief when he leaves to do business in London. As for Elinor, she develops a relationship with Edward Ferrars before they move to Devonshire. When the two sisters are disappointed by their lovers who go with other women, the novel depicts the different ways they react as well as their wavering between passion and reason. By the end of the novel, Edward comes to mend his relationship with Elinor and marries her while Marianne marries Colonel Brandon. Weve also included a concise and informative biography of Janes works and life at the end of the book. We hope it helps to give a little context and colour about how her life interacted with her art.

This ebook contains 4 unabridged early and posthumous novels by Jane Austen in one ebook: Lady Susan Sense and Sensibility Northanger Abbey Persuasion Lady Susan is a short epistolary novel, possibly written in 1794, but not published until 1871. Sense and Sensibility was the first of Jane Austens novels to be published. She began to write it sometime around 1797, and she worked on it for many years before its publication in 1811. The title page said that it was written "By a Lady", and only her immediate family knew that Jane Austen was the author. Impetuous Marianne Dashwood tumbles into a fairytale romance that goes sour, and her practical older sister Elinor copes with the familys financial problems while hiding her own frustrated romantic hopes. Northanger Abbey was written in 1798-99. It is a comic love story set in Bath about a young reader who must learn how to separate fantasy from reality. Miss Austen sold the novel to a publisher in 1803, and the work was advertised but never published. She bought it back many years later, and her brother Henry Austen published the novel as Northanger Abbey after her death in 1817. Persuasion was written in 1815-1816, while Jane Austen was suffering from her fatal illness. She was still working on some revisions at the time of her death in 1817. The novel was published posthumously by her brother, Henry Austen. Persuasion is a novel of second chances, expectations of society, and the constancy of love.

The story follows the main character Elizabeth Bennet as she deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of early 19th-century England. Elizabeth is the second of five daughters of a country gentleman living near the fictional town of Meryton in Hertfordshire, near London.

It has become one of the most popular novels in English literature and receives considerable attention from literary scholars. Modern interest in the book has resulted in a number of dramatic adaptations and an abundance of novels and stories imitating Austens memorable characters or themes. To date, the book has sold some 20 million copies worldwide. As Anna Quindlen wrote, "Pride and Prejudice is also about that thing that all great novels consider, the search for self. And it is the first great novel to teach us that that search is as surely undertaken in the drawing room making small talk as in the pursuit of a great white whale or the public punishment of adultery."

Pride and Prejudice is an 1813 novel of manners written by Jane Austen. Though it is mostly called a romantic novel, it is also a satire. The novel follows the character development of Elizabeth Bennet, the dynamic protagonist of the book who learns about the repercussions of hasty judgments and comes to appreciate the difference between superficial goodness and actual goodness.

Elinor and Marianne Dashwood are two sisters with opposite characters. Elinor, the eldest, is 19 and represents the part of "reason" indicated by the title. Marianne is 17 years old and instead represents the "feeling". Elinor and Marianne are the daughters of Mr. Dashwoods second marriage. Besides them there is also a younger sister, Margaret, and their older brother, John, who was born from his first marriage. When the father dies, the family estate passes, as usual, to the first son, John, so the Dashwood women find themselves in a very precarious financial situation.
