Jane Austen (1775–1817)
Autore di Orgoglio e pregiudizio
Sull'Autore
Jane Austen's life is striking for the contrast between the great works she wrote in secret and the outward appearance of being quite dull and ordinary. Austen was born in the small English town of Steventon in Hampshire, and educated at home by her clergyman father. She was deeply devoted to her mostra altro family. For a short time, the Austens lived in the resort city of Bath, but when her father died, they returned to Steventon, where Austen lived until her death at the age of 41. Austen was drawn to literature early, she began writing novels that satirized both the writers and the manners of the 1790's. Her sharp sense of humor and keen eye for the ridiculous in human behavior gave her works lasting appeal. She is at her best in such books as Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), and Emma (1816), in which she examines and often ridicules the behavior of small groups of middle-class characters. Austen relies heavily on conversations among her characters to reveal their personalities, and at times her novels read almost like plays. Several of them have, in fact, been made into films. She is considered to be one of the most beloved British authors. (Bowker Author Biography) mostra meno
Nota di disambiguazione:
(eng) While a number of works on this author page are modern works only partly based on the classic works of Jane Austen, the Jane Austen listed as (co-)author is the Jane Austen of the CK information, not a different Jane Austen, and therefore the author page should not be split. (However, Jane Austen's role should be author, editor, etc of the work, not a subject or reference of the work.)
Please be careful when combining editions of Austen's complete novels - some editions contain 7 novels, others 8. Still others add various novels that were not completed.

- From the Jane Austen Society of North America: Jane Austen, one of England’s foremost novelists, was never publicly acknowledged as a writer during her lifetime. Born at Steventon Rectory in Hampshire, the 7th child of a country clergyman and his wife, she was primarily educated at home, benefiting from her father’s extensive library and the schoolroom atmosphere created by Mr. Austen’s live-in pupils. Her closest friend was her only sister, Cassandra, almost three years her senior.
Though Austen lived a quiet life, she had unusual access to the greater world, primarily through her brothers. On extended visits to Godmersham, her brother Edward’s estate in Kent, Austen and her sister took part in the privileged life of the landed gentry, which is reflected in all her fiction. In 1811, at the age of 35, she published Sense and Sensibility, which identified the author only as "a Lady." Pride and Prejudice followed in 1813, Mansfield Park in 1814, and Emma in 1815. Jane Austen died at age 41 and was buried in Winchester Cathedral. Interestingly, her gravestone, which is visited by hundreds of admirers each year, does not even mention that she was an author. - Nota di disambiguazione

Non aspettatevi una recensione entusiasta sul grande amore tra Darcy ed Elizabeth e sulle varie vicissitudini delle sorelle Bennett perché non mi hanno appassionato per niente (che è un modo elegante per dire che ho rischiato varie volte di addormentarmi con il Kindle in mano).
Tutto quel parlare di balli, di chi ha ballato con chi e quante volte, di quanto spesso uno scapolo ha parlato con la tale dama, oppure di quante volte o quanto a lungo l'ha guardata ha messo a dura prova la mia pazienza. Ho una soglia di sopportazione a certe discussioni già bassa nella vita reale, figuriamoci se devo sorbirmele pure in inchiostro elettronico.
Quello che, invece, ho davvero apprezzato, ed è il motivo delle tre stelle da me assegnate al romanzo, è stata l'ironia dell'autrice che colpisce con intelligenza ed eleganza diversi personaggi e diverse consuetudini tipiche della sua epoca. Una delle scene che ricordo con maggior piacere è quella della proposta di matrimonio di Mr Collins: mi ha fatto davvero sganasciare dalle risate, sebbene al divertimento si unisca un pizzico di inquietudine al pensiero dell'esistenza di simili individui.
