內容簡介

入選BBC百大形塑世界的書 ‧ 浪漫愛情小說的始祖

英國經典文學不敗的天后─珍‧奧斯汀代表作

《傲慢與偏見》

在電影《電子情書》中，女主角凱薩琳和男主角喬在「最喜歡的書」這個話題上談到《傲慢與偏見》，這本書是凱薩琳的最愛，但喬卻邊讀邊翻白眼；後來喬推薦凱薩琳看電影《教父》，而凱薩琳則疑問為什麼每個男人都愛談《教父》？雖然以現代的眼光看這段劇情，不乏過多刻板印象與陳見，但選《傲慢與偏見》這本書用在這段對白中，可說是再適合不過。因為即使《電子情書》是20世紀的電影，但故事的套路依然不離當年珍‧奧斯汀筆下的男女主角，或著，可以說這樣的劇情模式已然是愛情小說公認的濫觴。

《傲慢與偏見》便是定奠這個模式的開山鼻祖，雖然對某些現代作家或讀者而言是老掉牙的劇情，但不可否認，有些故事就是有超越時代的魔力。

當伊莉莎白 ‧ 班奈特遇見達西先生，就因為他冰冷的態度與高傲的言詞備感厭惡，達西先生則認為伊莉莎白對凡事都充滿太多偏見，當伊莉莎白的姐姐珍和達西的好友賓利先生開始若有似無的戀情，他們的關係又更加緊繃，每次見面總少不了劍拔弩張和言語交鋒。珍‧奧斯汀觀察人事的眼光獨到，捕捉攝政時期為走入婚姻費力奔波的男男女女，文筆幽默且好讀，很容易抓住讀者的心，雖說浪漫愛情故事最終都有好結局，讓讀者回味再三的還是那些經典對白和人物刻畫，不僅確立「達西先生」在文學史上難以撼動的地位，每年在珍‧奧斯汀的生日，依然有各種慶祝活動舉辦，紀念這位至今依舊受讀者喜愛的作家。

Norton Library系列維持過往Norotn經典文學書系的優良傳統，編輯皆來自英美學術界，編訂與版本選擇品質有保證。內容收錄全文，移除傳統Norton後面收錄的Critical部分，價格也較親民平價，適合一般文學讀者或對經典文學有興趣的人。

作者介紹

Jane Austen was born on December 16, 1775, in Steventon, Hampshire, in England. Her father, an Anglican clergyman, encouraged her literary pursuits from a young age and by her mid-twenties, Austen had drafted three novels. Following the success of Sense and Sensibility in 1811, she went on to publish Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), and Emma (1815). Northanger Abbey and Persuasion were published posthumously in 1818. Despite her fondness for marriage plots–all six of her novels end in weddings–Austen never married, living with her mother and sister in the years leading up to her death. She died on July 18, 1817, in the city of Winchester. Over two centuries later, Austen’s novels remain beloved classics, and she is considered one of the foremost writers in English literary history.

Jenny Davidson is Professor of English and comparative literature at Columbia University. She has published four books of literary criticism, four novels, several other editions, and numerous articles and essays. She is currently at work on two book projects: a handbook on career pathways for humanities doctoral students and an intellectually wide-ranging and highly personal account of what it means to read Edward Gibbon’s History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (originally published between 1776 and 1789) from the vantage point of the twenty-first century.
