Biografia dell'autore
Jane Austen nasce a Steventon nel 1775. Cresciuta in una numerosa famiglia del clero inglese, riceve un'istruzione vivace che incoraggia la sua passione precoce per la scrittura. La sua vita si svolge interamente nel contesto della gentry rurale, ambiente che diverrà il palcoscenico prediletto delle sue trame. Nonostante il successo discreto ottenuto in vita, la sua fama cresce esponenzialmente dopo la morte, avvenuta a Winchester nel 1817. Austen rimane una figura enigmatica che ha saputo trasformare le limitate esperienze domestiche in capolavori di portata universale, definendo nuovi canoni per il romanzo moderno.
Stile di scrittura
I libri di Jane Austen si distinguono per un uso magistrale dell'ironia, del discorso indiretto libero e di una prosa brillante che alterna umorismo e acuta introspezione. La sua capacità di tratteggiare l'indimenticabile Elizabeth Bennet in Orgoglio e Pregiudizio ha ridefinito il concetto di eroina letteraria, rendendola un simbolo di intelligenza e indipendenza. Attraverso saghe familiari come quella dei Dashwood in Ragione e sentimento, l'autrice esplora le tensioni tra pragmatismo e passione, creando universi narrativi dove il matrimonio e la stabilità economica diventano specchi dell'anima, lasciando un segno indelebile in generazioni di lettori per la modernità dei suoi dilemmi morali.
Persuasion. E-book. Formato Mobipocket Jane Austen - Kore Enterprises, 2018 -
Persuasion is the last novel fully completed by Jane Austen. It was published at the end of 1817, six months after her death. The story concerns Anne Elliot, a young Englishwoman of 27 years, whose family is moving to lower their expenses and get out of debt. They rent their home to an Admiral and his wife. The wife’s brother, Navy Captain Frederick Wentworth, had been engaged to Anne in 1806, and now they meet again, both single and unattached, after no contact in more than seven years. This sets the scene for many humorous encounters as well as a second, well-considered chance at love and marriage for Anne in her second "bloom". The novel was well-received in the early 19th century. Greater fame came later in the century, continued in the 20th century, and through to the 21st century. Much scholarly debate on Austen's work has since been published. Anne Elliot is noteworthy among Austen's heroines for her relative maturity. As Persuasion is Austen's last completed novel, it is accepted as her most maturely written novel showing a refinement of literary conception indicative of a woman approaching forty years of age. Unlike Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice, Persuasion was not rewritten from earlier drafts of novels that Austen had originally started before 1800. Her use of free indirect discourse in narrative was by 1816 in full evidence.
Emma. E-book. Formato Mobipocket Jane Austen - Kore Enterprises, 2018 -
Emma, by Jane Austen, is a novel about youthful hubris and the perils of misconstrued romance. The story takes place in the fictional village of Highbury and the surrounding estates of Hartfield, Randalls, and Donwell Abbey and involves the relationships among individuals in those locations consisting of "3 or 4 families in a country village". The novel was first published in December 1815 while the author was alive, with its title page listing a publication date of 1816. As in her other novels, Austen explores the concerns and difficulties of genteel women living in Georgian–Regency England; she also creates a lively comedy of manners among her characters and depicts issues of marriage, gender, age, and social status. Before she began the novel, Austen wrote, "I am going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like." In the first sentence, she introduces the title character as "Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich." Emma is spoiled, headstrong, and self-satisfied; she greatly overestimates her own matchmaking abilities; she is blind to the dangers of meddling in other people's lives; and her imagination and perceptions often lead her astray. Emma, written after Austen's move to Chawton, was the last novel to be completed and published during her life, as Persuasion, the last novel Austen wrote, was published posthumously. This novel has been adapted for several films, many television programmes, and a long list of stage plays. It is also the inspiration for several novels.
