2、 Institute of Aeronautical Industry ManagementMay 2010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

The Origins ofAustens Writing Style 1.1 Social Background In the eighteenthcentury England,there was no centrallyorganized system of stat

Traditional education of ladies of thegenteelclasses took the acquisition of accomplishments and manners the first place.Womens domestic education was to receive a practical training,such as doin

25、g some sewing or needlework,to meet their domestic role.Moreover,the non-dornestic education was often the acquisition of accomplishments such as piano-playing,drawing,singing, dancing or speaking modern languages,generally French and Italian.The purpose of acquiring such accomplishments was only to

Only men could abandon their wives but women had no chance to choose their true love. In her life,she was not married,because she did not have the prefect lover as she expected.JaneAustens novels are like a serial of history. In her novels , she not only records the social changes , but also the experience of her own. Her novels contain the criticism of society , the speculation on life and th
