When Jane Austen (1775--1817) wrote her novels in England, she was writing about a
21 that most of us would not recognize.
But today Austen’s books are in great
22 than ever. In the last ten years, five or six novels have been
23 into Hollywood films, while her books continue to be bestsellers. So why is Austen still
24 ?
Richard Jenkyns, a professor of English at Oxford University argued that her novels still
25 people because they
26 the same issues today as they were when she wrote them.
Her novels are about women
27 to find a perfect husband, but also
28 issues surrounding marriages, friendships and the family. “The plots are fairly timeless about human interaction
29 are familiar to us,” Jenkyns says.
The most famous book Austen wrote is
Pride and Prejudice, a
30 story between Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy. At first the two
31 do not get on. They
32 fall in love, but still have to
33 opposition to their relationship from their families.
All of Austen’s books are
34 to read, making them popular with children and adults,
35 they work on different levels so people can take
36 they need from them, author Kate Henry says.
“You can choose to see the politics and feminism(男女平等思想) in them,
37 you don’t want to take on those issues you can turn a blind eye to it,” she says.
38 is often hailed(赞扬) as the greatest romance writer in the English language, so it is surprising she remained
39 . “Maybe she was too much of a romantic, waiting for a
40man,” Henry says.
