On the development of Jane Eyre fans from the origin of Jane Eyre fans; The anti-Jane party refuted and edited this paragraph of the character's life.

Austin is unmarried for life and has a well-off family. Living in a small country town, I came into contact with Jane Austen, a small and medium-sized landlord and priest.

Things and their quiet and comfortable living environment, so there is no major social contradiction in her works. With women's unique nuanced observation, she truly described the small world around her, especially the love and marriage turmoil between gentlemen and ladies. Her works are light and humorous, full of comedy conflicts, and are deeply loved by readers. From the end of 18 to the beginning of 19, vulgar and boring "sentimental novels" and "gothic novels" flooded the British literary world, while Austin's novels took a different approach, showing the daily life and rural scenery of the British rural middle class that had not been impacted by the capitalist industrial revolution at that time. Her works often ridicule people's despicable and ridiculous weaknesses such as stupidity, selfishness, snobbery and blind self-confidence through comic scenes. Austen's novels appeared at the beginning of19th century, sweeping away the popular pseudo-romanticism at that time, inheriting and developing the excellent British realistic tradition in18th century, and preparing for the climax of realistic novels in19th century. Although the breadth and depth of her works are limited, works such as Two Inch Tooth Carving peep at the whole social form and the way of the world from a small window, which has played a very good role in changing the vulgar atmosphere in novel creation at that time, and has the significance of connecting the preceding with the following in the history of English novel development, and is regarded as a writer with the same status as Shakespeare.

Although Austin's sons have professional portraits, Cassandra's watercolor painting (rated as "far from reality" by her dear little niece Anna) is the only "portrait" known to Jane Austen. 1869, someone made an improved version of a small replica. 1870, this template was used in james edward Austin Leigh's biography of Jane Austen.

abstract

Some things will never change even after two centuries of change ... We are still immersed in the complex environment of marriage, friendship and love, career and social etiquette, and we will still enjoy it until we are exhausted. Perhaps you think that the plot created by Jane Austen in any novel can't intersect with modern life. However, six people here found the similarities between the two. They formed the "Austin Reading Club" and found their own responses, predictions, warnings and wisdom in their own life tracks by discussing Austin's wonderful descriptions. Bernadette is the initiator of the Austin Reading Club, and her life itself is contradictory. Otherwise, how could this warm, intelligent, realistic and unrestrained person have been married six times? Now, she is over 50 years old, but she is still single. Many times, Bernadette is the best friend, because she will listen to your misfortune quietly and then become your most solid backing. Compared with the hustle and bustle of the city, you can always find peace from Bernadette ... It was Bernadette's idea to gather friends to set up the "forever Austin" book club, because no writer can treat the suffering of people in this world better than Jane Austen. Contrary to Bernadette's willingness to take risks in marriage, her friend jocelyn seems to be born with the word "romantic", and she even claims that she has never been in love-even if she did, it was with her Rhodesian ridgeback Preedy. She is her most loyal companion and has noble blood, so it is not hard to imagine how jocelyn was immersed in sadness after Pradie's death ... Friends agreed that something should be found as soon as possible to distract jocelyn from the misfortune of losing his dog, but jocelyn is not as fragile as they thought.

Behind the scenes production

Fiction and real life, movies are like the modern version of Being Jane, and the story of 2 1 century told in Jane Austen's six novels.

Ben and six book lovers have also experienced the longing and despair of love, and they have all been comforted and misunderstood because of friendship. As a social animal in a complex society, without exception, we have to face countless problems that make life more complicated. Book club members need to read a novel by Austin every month, and then compare it with elements similar to their own lives ... Divorced Sylvia is undoubtedly a true portrayal of mansfield manor in real life. This novel is full of the division between people, the disappointment of love, the defect of marriage and adultery, and Sylvia even cries because of jocelyn's words in the discussion. Although jocelyn is a little disdainful of this meaningless reading behavior, she can also find her own reference from Jane Austen's novels: the heroine in Emma is a lovely, rich and lively woman who likes to meddle tirelessly and be a matchmaker. She thought she could understand the needs of everyone around her, but when love came to her, she became stupid and blind ... but Sylvia was obviously heartbroken about the divorce and didn't notice these small details. In the novel northanger abbey, the heroine becomes a little nervous because she is too obsessed with Gothic legends. Interestingly, Greg's village house in the suburbs was decorated in the style of Halloween. When it comes to "Pride and Prejudice", there are many ironies, because the most romantic story in Jane Austen's works has got the most lamentation and anxiety in the discussion of book lovers ... As for the bickering between jocelyn and Greg, it is really as vicious as Darcy and elizabeth bennett, and the pain caused by the divorce between father and mother is exactly the same as mentioned in the novel. In Sense and Sensibility, the misplaced engagement breaks all the good expectations of two poor sisters for love. This novel provides a story background for the members of the book club, which can tell all the discordant views and attitudes between them ... "Love Game" is the last novel discussed by the book club, which finally resolves many stories that happened to six members: here is a couple who broke up painfully many years ago, and they found a solution again in mutual harm. What happened between Prudie and Dean can be applied to this novel, including Sylvia and Daniel. It also encourages jocelyn, Greg, allegra and Bernadette to help them get back on the road of life. Every couple related to the book club found a satisfactory answer and happiness at the end of the film, which once again coincides with the theme of happiness that Jane Austen has been using in her novels.

Edit this personal assessment.

Robin Swickett, the director of this film, decided to read Karen Joy Fowler's novel The Austin Reading Club at the suggestion of his good friend and producer John Kelly ... Schweickold happened to be worried about an original Sony play, and she planned to show the audience a family full of Jane Austen fans and the families in it.

Schweitzer Kirdi Studies

Schweickold said: "I spent many years studying everything about Austin, not just reading the movie Being Jane over and over again."

The novel is so simple that I have to start with other works, such as letters or children's books. This allows me to analyze Austin's private life from many different academic angles, and then enter every imaginable corner. I remember joking with Sony executives that I might be the first person in Hollywood, making a comedy and thanking a lot of novels. However, when I read the Austin Reading Club, I found that I was no longer fascinated by the original intellectuals. The novel describes a group of people who are more ordinary than me-readers, who read novels for asylum and companionship. Modern people regard Austin's novels as a refuge. In the process of reading, they can temporarily leave the crowded traffic, ringing phones and noisy TV in the waiting room. Moreover, I noticed that four of Austin's six novels are on sale at the newsstand in Seattle Airport, because after waiting in the waiting room for a few hours, you will be happy to pick up Austin's novels and feel the fresh taste of the English countryside almost two centuries ago. "

Novel charm

When you begin to like Jane Austen, the world she created in her novels will not look out of date. Her characters always worry about money, have to deal with difficult families, and shrink back because they are unsociable-they spend most of their time in love, and finally even the most basic expectations become worthless. Robin Switchard said: "In short, Austin has given us many roles very similar to ours, except that we can't pay fines instead of imprisonment, and of course we don't have to work 12- 14 hours every day." When robin swicord finished reading Karen Chewie Fleur's novel, she found herself unable to resist her impulse: "The fast-paced life and fast food culture have turned us into people who are good at words and habitually hide our true selves. Even at home, we can't completely relax, because for many of us, home has become a workplace. We chat online, receive emails, browse the web, read online novels, and even when eating, we don't forget to send text messages to the talent show to vote. It is really ridiculous that we are less and less interested in each other in today's developed information age. In this era when egoism prevails, we can only face the reality. We all live in our own small circle and refuse to step out easily. But Furong's novel gives a completely different view, because she records a brave act in this materialistic world. There are six people here. They agreed to read Jane Austen's six novels and then get together once a month to discuss them ... reflecting a completely different heroism. "

Edit this love experience

/kloc-The classic love works of Jane Austen, an English woman writer in the 0 ~ (th) century, have been put on the screen one after another, but her only unforgettable love affair is little known. With the film "Achievement Jane" starting shooting in March, this gap will be filled. Austin created a touching love story with unique and delicate brushwork, but never married. And Achievement Jane will unlock her love journey. The film is based on the biography Achievement Jane Austen, and the biographer spence has also become the historical consultant of the film.

First love, esp for girls.

1796, 20-year-old Austin met Lefroy. The seed of love, she fell in love with this clever and cunning young Irish lawyer at first sight. However, the pastor family in Austin wanted the future son-in-law to have financial strength, while Lefroy was still a poor boy. The Lefroy family, with six children, insisted on marrying a wealthy family, so they asked Lefroy to return to Ireland. Since then, the two have never met again. At that time, Austin expressed helplessness and sadness in a letter to his sister Cassandra: "Finally, this day has come, and I will say goodbye to Tom Lefroy. When you receive this letter, it's all over. I can't help crying when I think about this. " Later, Loew's film "Being Jane".

Roy married a woman according to the wishes of his family and became the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Ireland. It was not until his later years that he admitted to his nephew that he had a "teenage love" with a writer.

Never married.

The first love ended in being forced to break up, and Austin chose not to marry for life, injecting all unfinished feelings into literary creation. The soaring value of Love House did not make Austen Mrs. Lefroy, but inspired her to become one of the most popular female writers in British history. "He told her that she had a gift. He encouraged her to follow her own ideas in writing. Although they were not together, this relationship inspired her to become a professional writer. "Ray said. On the other hand, the house where Austin and Lefroy first met is also awesome. The house called Dean's Cabin is located in Hampshire. Full of British characteristics, elegant and comfortable. With its long history, architectural value and beautiful love story, the cottage was offered a high price of 6.5438 million pounds.

production process

Almost all Austen's novels have been revised and rewritten repeatedly for a long time. Her first novel was Sense and Sensibility (18 1 1). Pride and Prejudice (18 13) is her second work. These two works, together with northanger abbey (18 18) published after her death, were written in 18th century, and are generally regarded as her early works. Mansfield manor (18 14), Emma (18 16) and Persuasion (18 18) were written in the 9th century. The total number of these six works is only1500,000 words (Chinese), which is not much. When the work was first published, the sales volume was not very large.

Literary standpoint

However, with the passage of time, her position in English literature has become more and more important, so that some critics think that Jane Austen's works are Emma's cover.

"Among the writers, Jane Austen is undoubtedly the closest to the master. This woman is the pride of Britain. She created a lot of characters for us ... "(Toba Macaulay). Another person who compares her with Shakespeare is edmund wilson, a modern American critic. He said: "There have been several interesting revolutions in Britain for more than a hundred years. The renovation of literary taste has affected the prestige of almost all writers, but Shakespeare and Jane Austen have lasted forever. " Since Walter Scott, there have been endless writers who admire Austin. There are roughly one row: Trollope, George Eliot, Coleridge, elizabeth barrett browning, Southey and Ai Mo Foster. However, it is not clear what her outstanding and great points are. Virginia Woolf once said, "Of all the great writers, her greatness is the hardest to capture."

Novel features

According to The Concise Encyclopedia of Britain, Jane Austen is "the first novelist who realistically describes the daily life of ordinary people". A comedy reflecting the life of the British middle class at that time showed the possibility of' family' literature. She has explored the self-discovery process of young heroines from love to marriage many times. This method, which focuses on analyzing the characters' personalities and the tense relationship between the heroine and society, makes her novels break away from the tradition of18th century and approach modern life. It is this modernity, her wit and wit, her realism and sympathy, her elegant prose and ingenious story structure that have attracted readers for a long time. "And said:" At that time (referring to1early 9th century), drama romance novels were popular, which made people tired of reading them. Austen's simple realism is a fresh trend, which is welcomed by readers ... It was not until the 20th century that people realized that she was the most keen observer in the British Regency period (18 10- 1820), and she was serious. Modern critics also admire the superb organizational structure of Austen's novels and her exquisite skills in revealing the tragicomedy of life in ordinary and narrow plots. "After reading the analysis and comments of Chinese and foreign critics on Austin, the author thinks it is still the cover of Jane Austen's work Sense and Sensibility quoted above.

A short conclusion is the most accurate and accurate. Among them, the only thing that has not been highlighted is Austin's great talent in portraying characters (the protagonist of each novel is a young woman, but none of them are the same) and her wise eyes that can look at and comment on these characters (especially her favorite characters) coldly from a higher angle. Austin once said what a good work is. She said: "... some works show the most powerful power of intelligence;" Among them, the author used the most carefully selected language to convey to the world the most thorough understanding of human nature, the most appropriate description of this colorful human nature, and the most vivid expression of wit and humor. " (See the last paragraph of Chapter 5 of northanger abbey) A few of Austin's works can be said to be worthy of the heart, and all of them have reached such a standard.

language feature

Austin's language is really excellent, which has played a great role in improving her work. Her dialogue not only conforms to the character, but also often contains initiative. When Austin was a child, she entertained herself by performing with her family. Writing good dialogues is her specialty. Some narrative languages usually stretch slowly, which is very commensurate with the social environment and characters' identity in the historical period she wrote. Occasionally, the author quietly said a few sarcastic words with a curved pen, which made the readers who knew it laugh. (The critic Walter Allen once said that the whole of Emma was "conceived in ridicule." ) In terms of structure, Emma is also extremely symmetrical. In addition to the climax of the book, each chapter also has wonderful "highlights". This makes translators have fun while working hard, as if "walking on a tree-lined road, mountains and rivers set each other off, making people overwhelmed." I believe readers will have the same experience when reading her book. Some critics have said: "In Emma, the whole theme is the process that the heroine painfully knows herself and gradually gives up her fantasy."

The characters in the work

Similarly, in the process of the translator's translation and the reader's reading, everyone gradually realized Emma, a vivid image with various advantages and disadvantages. At the same time, through the reflection of this mirror, we can have a deeper understanding of ourselves than before. In the final analysis, the greatest benefit of reading literary works is nothing more than helping yourself to understand yourself, others, society and the world more deeply through such activities. Emma's self-confidence, self-righteousness, lack of self-knowledge, good intentions to do bad things, unwilling to admit mistakes, and a little snobbish. Doesn't this character defect still exist in ourselves and the people around us? And it exists not only in individuals, but also in collectives-from a small group to a big country. Emma was written by Austin in June 18 14 1 5, completed at the end of March, and published at the end of the year (the title page of the first edition is marked as 18 16). In the Quarterly Review published in March 18 16, Walter Scott, the most famous novelist at that time, praised Austen's works, especially Emma's long articles. 18 17 July, Austin died suddenly. Emma became the last novel to meet readers before her death. But readers don't know who the author is. It was not until 18 18 that her works were published under her brother's real name.

Austin and Regent Hotel

When Austin was alive, England was ruled by the Regent. His father George III was insane in his later years, and Congress arranged for him to be regent. 1820, the old king died and Regent George IV succeeded to the throne. It is said that he likes Austin's works very much, and every place lives in Jane Austen's works.

There is one everywhere. He also wrote a letter to Austin, expressing his admiration and hoping that she would dedicate her next work to herself. Austin said in the letter: "I am honored to thank the prince." At the same time, I wrote a dedication to Emma's book against my will. According to records, the head of the Regent's Library once suggested Austin to write works with bigger themes. Austin wrote back: "I don't write legends. I must keep my own style and go my own way, although I may never succeed on this road again. I believe that I will fail completely on other roads. " Austin told her relatives that all she could do was "write about some rural families" and "sketch on a small piece of ivory (two inches wide)" ... with a thin brush. Today, people naturally thank Austin for not adopting this proposal. And she is not simply "a small theme for a small theme". She can also see the big from the small. In her works, she pays attention to women, love and marriage, and explores the fallacies and prejudices of society in these aspects, thus revealing some weaknesses in human nature. Exploring human nature, can this be said to be writing a trivial topic? The ancient Greeks believed that the most important issue was "knowing yourself". This is what they carved on the temple of Delphi.
