By Jane Austen, James Edward Austen-Leigh

James Edward Austen-Leigh contó con los angeles ayuda de sus hermanas Anna y Caroline frente a los angeles rivalidad de los angeles otra rama de l. a. familia, los Knight-Knatchbull, que se negaron a entregar una parte de l. a. correspondencia de l. a. autora. Es así como se forjó una visión specific, sin secretos ni devaneos oscuros que pudieran enturbiar los angeles dulcificada vida de l. a. célebre escritora.
«Ninguna de las dos tiene nada que decir; tú, porque no te comunicas, y yo, porque no escondo nada», le cube Marianne Dashwood a su hermana mayor Elinor en uno de los pasajes más célebres de Juicio y sentimiento (1811), l. a. primera novela que consiguió publicar Jane Austen. Lo no dicho, el secreto deliberado o impuesto, los angeles verdad oculta y l. a. mentira, el pacto de silencio dictado por los angeles lealtad o los angeles piedad, son en efecto los temas principales de esta novela que traza un cuadro tan hilarante como patético de las desventuras de dos hermanas casaderas, hijas de l. a. gentry pero apartadas –en su condición de mujeres- de l. a. fortuna familiar.
Sus tropiezos en el camino del matrimonio, a veces empujadas por los angeles mezquindad de sus propios parientes, las alegres presiones de sus vecinos o los mismos «principios» de su carácter y ethical, las llevan a conocer todos los extremos que el «terror a l. a. pobreza» o los estragos de una vida inútil pueden ocasionar en el destino de los hombres. Marianne, locuaz y ultrarromántica, y Elinor, prudente y reservada, componen una descompensada balanza de caracteres que finalmente se habrá de equilibrar. Ingeniosísima en su trama, cáustica en su pintura de ambientes y personajes, grave en su espíritu ethical, ésta es l. a. primera de las obras maestras de Jane Austen.
Jane Austen nació en 1775 en Steventon, séptima de los ocho hijos del rector de l. a. parroquia. Educada principalmente por su padre, empezó a escribir de muy joven, para recreo de los angeles familia: una muestra de sus escritos juveniles, fantasiosos y humorísticos, se encuentra en Amor y amistad , y, de una forma ya más elaborada, en girl Susan y los Watson. A los veintitrés años envió a los editores el manuscrito de los angeles abadía de Northanger, que fue rechazado. Trece años después, en 1811, conseguiría publicar Juicio y sentimiento, de l. a. que se hicieron dos ediciones, y a los angeles que siguieron Orgullo y prejuicio (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) y Emma (1816). Después de su muerte, acaecida prematuramente en 1817 y que le impidió concluir su novela Sanditon, aparecería Persuasión (1817) y, con ella, l. a. abadía de Northanger, que no consiguió publicar en vida. Satírica, antirromántica, profunda y tan primorosa como mordaz, los angeles obra de Jane Austen nace toda ella de una estética necesidad de orden ethical. «La Sabiduría – escribió una vez- es mejor que el Ingenio, y a l. a. larga tendrá sin duda l. a. risa de su parte.»«Es una verdad universalmente aceptada que todo soltero en posesión de una gran fortuna necesita una esposa»: este comienzo -junto con el de Anna Karénina, quizá uno de los más famosos de l. a. historia de los angeles literatura- nos introduce sabiamente en el mundo de Jane Austen y de su novela más emblemática.
Orgullo y prejuicio, publicada en 1813 tras el éxito de Juicio y sentimiento, reúne de forma ejemplar sus temas recurrentes y su visión inimitable en l. a. historia de las cinco hijas de los angeles señora Bennett, que no tiene otro objetivo en su vida que conseguir una buena boda para todas ellas. Dos ricos jóvenes, el señor Bingley y el señor Darcy, aparecen en su punto de mira e inmediatamente se ven señalados como posibles «presas». El opresivo ambiente de l. a. familia, los angeles presión del matrimonio y del escándalo, los angeles diferencia de clases, el fantasma de los angeles pobreza y los angeles actitud de una heroína más rica y compleja en sentimientos que cualquier heroína de cualquier novela anterior, se conjugan en esta obra maestra leída y celebrada a lo largo de más de dos siglos.

Farrinder imposed herself. There was a lithographic smoothness about her, and a mixture of the American matron and the public character. There was something public in her eye, which was large, cold, and quiet; it had acquired a sort of exposed reticence from the habit of looking down from a lecture-desk, over a sea 50 of heads, while its distinguished owner was eulogised by a leading citizen. Mrs. Farrinder, at almost any time, had the air of being introduced by a few remarks. She talked with great slowness and distinctness, and evidently a high sense of responsibility; she pronounced every syllable of every word and insisted on being explicit.
Prance) suspended from one of the windows of the basement, and a peculiar look of being both new and faded—a kind of modern fatigue— like certain articles of commerce which are sold at a reduction as shop-worn. The hall was very narrow; a considerable part of it was occupied by a large hat-tree, from which several coats and shawls already depended; the rest offered space for certain lateral demonstrations on Miss Birdseye's part. She sidled about her visitors, and at last went round to open for them a door of further admission, which happened to be locked inside.
Such a mood, however, could only be momentary, for he was conscious at bottom of a bigger stomach than all the culture of Charles Street could fill. Afterwards, when his cousin had come back and they had gone down to dinner together, where he sat facing her at a little table decorated in the middle with flowers, a position from which he had another view, through a window where the curtain remained undrawn by her direction (she called his attention to this—it was for his benefit), of the dusky, empty river, spotted with points of 29 light—at this period, I say, it was very easy for him to remark to himself that nothing would induce him to make love to such a type as that.
