Jane Austen was only nineteen years old when she wrote Sense & Sensibility. In other words, if young Jane were alive today, she would have a latte in one hand and an iPhone in the other. With that image in mind, I have undertaken the delicate but rewarding process of translating her delightful novel about the Dashwood sisters into the modern parlance young women of nineteen use today, SMS text speech. Excerpt: "Well, then, LET something b done 4 them; bt THAT something need not b 3 thousand pounds. Consider," she texted, "that when the money is once parted w, it never can return. Ur sisters will marry, & it will b gone 4 ever. If, indeed, it could b restored 2 our poor lil boy-" "Y, 2 b sure," texted her husband, v gravely, "that wud make gr8 difference. The time may come when Harry will regret that so large a sum was parted w. If he should have a numerous family, 4 instance, it wud b a v convenient addition."

Jane Austen (16 December 1775 - 18 July 1817) was an English novelist known primarily for her six major novels, which interpret, critique and comment upon the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Austen's plots often explore the dependence of women on marriage in the pursuit of favourable social standing and economic security. Her works critique the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century literary realism. Her use of biting irony, along with her realism and social commentary, have earned her acclaim among critics and scholars.

Twinkle, twinkle, amber cross! For a chain, it's at a loss. Heavy links or simple loop, Do not dunk it in your soup. The worlds of beloved authors collide as Fitzwilliam Darcy, Jane Austen's immortal hero, finds himself thrust into the topsy-turvy world of Lewis Carroll's Wonderland. Many years have passed since Elizabeth Bennet became mistress of Pemberley, and the Darcys' six children stand testament to their enduring love. As the eldest prepare to enter the world, Alice, the youngest and most intrepid of the brood, ensures that life at Pemberley never grows dull. Her curious mind and penchant for mischief often prove trying, but never more so than when her father follows her down a mysterious rabbit hole, disrupting his orderly world in ways never before imagined. A treat for the young and the old, Darcy in Wonderland is both an adventure and homage to two of literature's greatest minds. "Ever since reading First Impressions: A Tale of Less Pride and Prejudice in 2010 I have been impressed with Alexa Adams's knack for emulating Jane Austen's witty and ironic voice. I love her narrative asides, sharp social commentary, and humorous observations." - Austenesque Reviews

"L'Abbaye de Northanger" par Jane Austen. Jane Austen était un romancière anglaise (1775-1817).

Pride and Prejudice is a novel of manners by Jane Austen, first published in 1813. 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. Though the story is set at the turn of the 19th century, it retains a fascination for modern readers, continuing near the top of lists of "most loved books" such as The Big Read. 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 Austen's 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 that teaches us this 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. Orgueil et Préjugés (Pride and Prejudice) est un roman de la femme de lettres anglaise Jane Austen paru en 1813. Il est considéré comme l'une de ses oeuvres les plus significatives et c'est aussi la plus connue du public. Rédigé entre 1796 et 1797, le texte, alors dans sa première version (First Impressions), figurait au nombre des grands favoris des lectures en famille que l'on faisait le soir à la veillée dans la famille Austen. Révisé en 1811, il est finalement édité deux ans plus tard, en janvier 1813. Son succès en librairie est immédiat, mais bien que la première édition en soit rapidement épuisée, Jane Austen n'en tire aucune notoriété le roman est en effet publié sans mention de son nom ( par l'auteur de Sense and Sensibility ) car sa condition de femme de la bonne société lui interdit de revendiquer le statut d'écrivain à part entière. Drôle et romanesque, le chef-d'oeuvre de Jane Austen continue à jouir d'une popularité considérable, par ses personnages bien campés, son intrigue soigneusement construite et prenante, ses rebondissements nombreux, et son humour plein d'imprévu. Derrière les aventures sentimentales des cinq filles Bennet, Jane Austen dépeint fidèlement les rigidités de la société anglaise au tournant des XVIIIe et XIXe siècles. À travers le comportement et les réflexions d'Elizabeth Bennet, son personnage principal, elle soulève les problèmes auxquels sont confrontées les femmes de la petite gentry campagnarde pour s'assurer sécurité économique et statut social. À cette époque et dans ce milieu, la solution passe en effet presque obligatoirement par le mariage: cela explique que les deux thèmes majeurs d'Orgueil et Préjugés soient l'argent et le mariage, lesquels servent de base au développement des thèmes secondaires. Dans son essai de 1954, Ten Novels and Their Authors, Somerset Maugham le cite en seconde position parmi les dix romans qu'il considérait comme les plus grands. En 2013, Le Nouvel Observateur, dans un hors-série consacré à la littérature des XIXe et XXe siècle, le cite parmi les seize titres retenus pour le XIXe siècle, le considérant comme peut-être le premier chef-d'oeuvre de la littérature au féminin

Großdruck Übersetzt von Karin von Schwab Stolz und Vorurteil ist ein Entwicklungsroman, in dem sich die beiden Hauptfiguren Elizabeth Bennet und Fitzwilliam Darcy durch die Überwindung einiger Krisen verändern, um sich in neuer Bescheidenheit und Einsicht in ihre Fehler für eine gemeinsame Zukunft zu finden. Allerdings ist dieses Werk der früh verstorbenen Schriftstellerin nicht nur als Liebesroman zu verstehen, sondern vor allem auch als zeitgenössische Gesellschaftsstudie. Das Thema einer Liebesgeschichte mit glücklichem Ausgang, die Art seiner Bearbeitung und unsere heutigen Erwartungen an Literatur sichern diesem Jahrhundertwerk auch heute noch eine große Aufmerksamkeit.

Persuasion is Jane Austen's last completed novel, published posthumously. She began it soon after she had finished Emma and completed it in August 1816. Persuasion was published in December 1817, but is dated 1818.[1] The author died earlier in 1817. As the Napoleonic Wars come to an end in 1814, Admirals and Captains of the Royal Navy are put ashore, their work done. Anne Elliot meets Captain Frederick Wentworth after seven years, by the chance of his sister and brother-in-law renting her father's estate, while she stays for a few months with her married sister, living nearby. They fell in love the first time, but she broke off the engagement. Besides the theme of persuasion, the novel evokes other topics, with which Austen was familiar: the Royal Navy, in which two of Jane Austen's brothers rose to the rank of admiral; and the superficial social life of Bath. It is portrayed extensively and serves as a setting for the second half of Persuasion. In many respects, Persuasion marks a break with Austen's previous works, both in the more biting, even irritable satire directed at some of the novel's characters and in the regretful, resigned outlook of its otherwise admirable heroine, Anne Elliot, in the first part of the story. Against this is set the energy and appeal of the Royal Navy, which symbolises for Anne and the reader the possibility of a more outgoing, engaged, and fulfilling life, and it is this worldview which triumphs for the most part at the end of the novel.

Jane Austen: Stolz und Vorurteil In der ganzen Welt gilt es als ausgemachte Wahrheit, dass ein begüterter Junggeselle unbedingt nach einer Frau Ausschau halten muss ... Frauen sind Verfügungsmasse. Sie werden auserkoren, oder auch nicht ... Jane Austens Roman folgt oberflächlich dem konservativen Wertesystem der damaligen Zeit, und ist gleichzeitig ein schreiender Protest dagegen. Ist das alles richtig so? Muss mein Leben so eingerichtet sein? Leben wir nicht in furchtbaren Zwängen? Das sind die Fragen, mit denen Elizabeth Bennet ringt. Hin- und her gerissen ist sie zwischen ihrem eigenen starken Willen, und dem, was die Gesellschaft von ihr erwartet. Das ist der Grund, warum >Stolz und VorurteilStolz und VorurteilDer Herr der Ringe

Persuasion est le dernier roman de l'auteur anglais Jane Austen, publié posthumément en décembre 1817 mais daté de 1818. En France, il a paru pour la première fois en 1821 sous le titre: La Famille Elliot, ou L'ancienne inclination. Le roman est regroupé en un volume double avec Northanger Abbey, le premier des grands romans de Jane Austen, écrit en 1803 mais resté non publié jusque là. D'un ton plus grave que les oeuvres précédentes de la romancière, il raconte les retrouvailles d'Anne Elliot avec Frederick Wentworth, dont elle a repoussé la demande en mariage huit ans auparavant, persuadée par son amie Lady Russell des risques de cette union avec un jeune officier de marine en début de carrière, pauvre et à l'avenir incertain. Mais alors que la guerre avec la France s'achève, le capitaine Wentworth revient, fortune faite, avec le désir de se marier pour fonder un foyer. Il a conservé du refus d'Anne Elliot la conviction que la jeune fille manquait de caractère et se laissait trop aisément persuader. Outre le thème de la persuasion, le roman évoque d'autres sujets, tels que la Royal Navy, dont l'importance ici rappelle que deux des frères de Jane Austen y servaient, pour parvenir plus tard au rang d'amiral. Comme dans Northanger Abbey, la vie mondaine et superficielle de Bath - bien connue de Jane Austen - est longuement dépeinte, et sert d'arrière-plan à tout le second volume. Enfin, Persuasion marque une nette rupture avec les ouvrages précédents, par la chaleureuse attitude des personnages positifs qu'il met en scène, en fort contraste avec les héros souvent ternes, hautains ou peu cordiaux rencontrés auparavant, et dont le Mr Darcy de Orgueil et Préjugés est l'exemple extrême.

Love and Freindship [sic] is a juvenile story by Jane Austen, dated 1790. From the age of eleven until she was eighteen, Austen wrote her tales in three notebooks.

They contain, among other works, Love and Freindship, written when she was fourteen, and The History of England, written when she was fifteen.

The Letters Of Jane Austen [Selected From The Compilation Of Her Great Nephew Edward, Lord Bradbourne] JANE AUSTEN [ZHINGOORA BOOKS] PREFACE The recent cult for Miss Austen, which has resulted in no less than ten new editions of her novels within a decade and three memoirs by different hands within as many years, have made the facts of her life familiar to most readers. It was a short life, and an uneventful one as viewed from the standpoint of our modern times, when steam and electricity have linked together the ends of the earth, and the very air seems teeming with news, agitations, discussions. We have barely time to recover our breath between post and post; and the morning paper with its statements of disaster and its hints of still greater evils to be, is scarcely out-lived, when, lo! in comes the evening issue, contradicting the news of the morning, to be sure, but full of omens and auguries of its own to strew our pillows with the seed of wakefulness.

Las protagonistas son las hermanas Elinor y Marianne Dashwood, que viven con su madre, la señora Dashwood, y su hermana menor, Margaret. Después de la muerte de su padre el patrimonio familiar pasa a su medio hermano, John Dashwood, único descendiente masculino e hijo de un primer matrimonio; la familia queda con casi nada y se muda a una casita en el campo que les ofrece un pariente. La novela sigue a las hermanas Dashwood a su nuevo hogar, donde experimentan tanto el romance como una desilusión amorosa. Allí conocen a tres hombres: Edward Ferrars, Willoughby y al Coronel Brandon. Elinor y Marianne tienen temperamentos opuestos. Tradicionalmente, se ha considerado que Elinor, la mayor, con 19 años, representa el "sentido" (razón) del título y Marianne, que tiene 17, representa la "sensibilidad" (emoción). Sin embargo, este punto de vista es muy limitado. Un examen detallado de la novela permite ver en cada hermana diferentes aspectos de cada uno de estos rasgos. El contraste entre los caracteres de las hermanas se resuelve finalmente cuando cada una de ellas encuentra el amor y una felicidad duradera.

Jane Austen (1775-1817) was an English novelist whose works of romantic fiction, set among the landed gentry, earned her a place as one of the most widely read writers in English literature. Her realism and biting social commentary have gained her historical importance among scholars and critics. Northanger Abbey (1817) is Austen's first completed novel but not published until after her death. While it covers Austen's usual themes of class, love, and marriage, it is also a satire of the Gothic novels popular at the time, most notably The Ann Radcliffe's Mysteries of Uldopho (1794). The lead character-whom Austen explicitly names her "heroine" in the text-is a young, naïve seventeen-year-old who sees mystery and intrigue wherever she looks, except in her own love life. This book is in the Deseret Alphabet, a phonetic alphabet for writing English developed in the mid-19th century at the University of Deseret (now the University of Utah).
