人行招聘本地生源优先:奥斯丁的〈Emma〉一书的英文评论

《爱玛》是简·奥斯丁最优秀、最成熟、最能代表其风格的小说作品。

简·奥斯丁是世界上为数极少的著名女性作家之一，介于新古典主义和浪漫运动的抒情主义之间的“小幅画家”和“家庭小说” 家，文学评论家眼里堪与莎土比亚在不朽性方面相提并论的英国作家。

Of all Jane Austen's heroines, Emma Woodhouse is the most flawed, the most infuriating, and, in the end, the most endearing.

--Alix Wilber

EMMA is essentially a comedy of manners, a work in which the characters move inside a highly restrictive code of conduct and must walk a fine line between the socially acceptable and unacceptable if they are to survive, much less reach their goals. But at the same time the central character, Emma Woodhouse, is a marked departure.

Austen is writing very close to the peak of her powers here, and her amazing talent for observation, subtle irony, and flashing wit endow EMMA with tremendous charm and interest.
