摘要
起初,简·奥斯丁的几本主要传记均出自其家族成员之手,其中,奥斯丁-李的《回忆录》记载了小说家的大致生平和性情。1989年,英国研究者勒费伊的传记面世,她不仅借鉴奥斯丁家族的回忆材料,还亲访各郡县的档案部门,查阅教区记录,奥斯丁的生平被相当完整、准确地展现出来。此后,传记作家或者利用无所不包的社会史材料,或者借助文学和心理分析等批评,塑造出一个不太循规蹈矩的奥斯丁。随着"文化研究"的兴起,当下传记作者将经典小说、文学批评、事实考证等并置一处,奥斯丁的形象变得越来越丰富多彩,其作品的现代意涵也愈加被广泛阐发。
Earlier major biographies of Jane Austen were written by her family members,the main outlines of the novelist's life and personality being all there in Austen-Leigh's Memoir. Deirdre Le Faye's A Family Record came out in 1989,a most meticulously accurate account,making not only the use of family papers,but also drawing on research of her own into parish records and county archives. Since then several more full-scale biographies have appeared,either taking advantage of the inclusive and all-embracing social history or turning to literary psychoanalysis for a much less conventional figure of Jane Austen. With the burgeoning development of cultural studies,her current biographers are juxtaposing novel-reading,criticism and historical research,presenting a more lively version of Jane Austen,and producing a variety of invaluable appreciations of her fictional world.
