作者簡介

珍 ‧ 奧斯汀（Jane Austen, 1775～1817）

　　出生於英格蘭南部漢普郡（Hampshire）的鄉村，在一個家有八個孩子的牧師家庭中長大。從未受過正規教育，而是在家自學，廣泛閱讀與書寫，最後成了英國文學史上公認的才女，並深受大眾喜愛。

　　很早即開始寫作，不過直到三十六歲，第一部小說《理性與感性》才問世，而後陸續出版《傲慢與偏見》《曼斯菲爾德莊園》《愛瑪》《諾桑覺寺》，以及《勸服》（前四部小說均為匿名發表）。其作品筆觸真摯動人、犀利幽默，真實反映出十八世紀末、十九世紀初當時社會風情，以及人們的社交互動，時至廿一世紀的今日，大家仍在讀她的小說，且影視改編風潮不輟。

　　Jane Austen was born in Steventon rectory on 16 December 1775. Her family later moved to Bath, then to Southampton and finally to Chawton in Hampshire. She began writing Pride and Prejudice when she was twenty-two years old. It was originally called First Impressions and was initially rejected by the publishers and only published in 1813 after much revision. She published four of her novels in her lifetime, Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma(1816). Jane Austen died on 18th July 1817. Northanger Abbey and Persuasion were both published posthumously in 1818.
