内容摘要

简·奥斯丁被公认为世界文学史上最伟大的女作家之一。

她的小说的稳步上升的声望证明了她作为一位伟大的小说家和艺术家的真正价值。

简·奥斯丁在其短暂的一生中共创作了六部力作，其中《理智与情感》是她的成名作。

关于世界经典女性文学作品《理智与情感》的研究可谓不胜枚举。

然而从和谐角度分析简·奥斯丁的创作风格的研究确实为较少，本文正是这样的尝试。

作家独特的艺术视点及创作手法就是一部优秀作品的中心磁场。

简·奥斯丁以她充满讽刺幽默的十八世纪理性主义精神和她的女性的纤细和感性塑造了她独特的创作风格——一个强大而坚固的磁场——构造人物并赋予人物活力，通过人物的对白和动作，在有限的空间里描绘出一幅幅安详、自然的乡村图，在这些画廊里，形形色色的人物或被素描或被漫画，虽不喧不闹，却跃然纸上，充分表现了作者敏锐的观察力，从侧面展现了一个文明社会的价值观、道德观以及其中弊病。

本文通过对作者创作源头和创作技巧的分析，体现作者的创作目的—和谐,理智与情感的和谐，文章结构布局的和谐。
