New Hardcover NA Jams Austen (1775-1817) Jane Austen has been regarded by critics as the moot perfect artist in English fiction. George Saintsbury compared her to Shakespeare whose detachment and elusiveness she certainly shares. She was a truly great novelist of manners among the country gentry. Born in the family of a rector of Steventon in Hampshire, Jane Austen had her early education in Oxford and Reading. She started writing early in life. Between 1792 and 1798 she completed her first four novels, Lady Susan, First Impressions (later entitled Pride and Prejudice), Elinor and Marianne (later called Sense and Sensibility) and Northanger Abbey. Later she produced three more novels: Mansfield Park, Emma and Persuasion. She contracted tuberculosis and died tragically early at the age of 41. Although not recognized in her time, her popularity has increased, rather than faded, with the passing of years, which will be evident from the remark of F.R. Leavis: "Jane Austen inaugurated the great tradition of fiction." Pride and Prejudice was Jane AustenaEUR s first novel. She started writing it in 1797 under the title First Impressions. Later she revised it and it was published in 1813 under the title Pride and Prejudice. It is a novel mainly concerned with the problems of marriage. Four pairs, "Elizabeth and Darcy, Jane and Bingley, Charlotte and Collins, Lydia and Wickham are married on different considerations. The main 3tory concerns the first pair who are first separated because of their pride and prejudice and later reconciled and united as their misunderstandings are removed. This novel has been accepted as the masterpiece of the novelist having a superbly balanced plot-construction and a well-defined character development. Jane Austen here succeeded in wedding realism to a lively dialogue and evolved a witty narrative style to express in the most vital manner the story of a young girl and her love.

Helten, Michael: Aspects of Civility in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, GRIN VERLAG, Februar 2010, Besorgungstitel - vorauss. Lieferzeit 3-5 Tage. ISBN: 3640526066
Decisive parts of both plot and meaning of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice are conveyed by means of conversations. In them the word becomes an authentic deed, as H. BABB puts it. In linguistic terms, conversation is discourse - and discourse is necessarily social discourse. Taking into consideration that Jane Austen's age was an age of society's predominance, when man was viewed primarily as a social creature, and that 'ways of putting things', or simply language usage, are part of the very stuff that social relationships are made of, it is not hard to realize how much importance lies in the way the characters in Pride and Prejudice express themselves. Therefore, when he focuses on the various linguistic aspects of civility in Pride and Prejudice, the reader can throw light on the novel from a different angle.Civility is derived from the Latin word 'civilis', meaning 'of or pertaining to citizens'. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, it is behaviour proper to the intercourse of civilized people; ordinary courtesy or politeness, as opposed to rudeness of behaviour; decent respect, consideration. J. HARRIS notices that Jane Austen explores [Richardson's] important word civil, without giving her finding consequence enough to go into much detail. However, when the word root civil itself occurs over seventy times in the novel, seventyeight times to be precise (while occurring only forty times in Sense and Sensibility, for example), and words closely related to civility appear in over one-hundred-and-fifty instances in the course of the novel, it becomes clear that the aspects of civility deserve a closer look. Because the social scheme has changed significantly since the time Jane Austen wrote her novels, the vocabulary related to civility has undergone some significant changes as well. The gaps in meaning between politeness, civility and gentleness have been diminished or have ceased to exist altogether in some speakers' vocabulary. The aim of this paper is therefore to pinpoint the different notions of civility and words related with civility as they are employed by Jane Austen in Pride and Prejudice. In the course, most attention will be paid to Mr Collins, a character who miraculously manages to be an epitome of both politeness and rudeness.

Klink, Vanessa: Jane Austen - Verfilmungen Von "Pride and Prejudice" zu "Emma" und "Persuasion" GRIN VERLAG, August 2007, Besorgungstitel - vorauss. Lieferzeit 3-5 Tage. ISBN: 3638700305
Magisterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2003 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Komparatistik, Vergleichende Lit.wiss., Note: 2,0, Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn (Komparatistik), Sprache: Deutsch, Anmerkungen: Diese Arbeit befasst sich Schwerpunktmäßig mit den Werken Jane Austens Emma, Pride and Prejudice und Persuasion und deren filmische Umsetzung (Adaption) von Robert Z. Leonard (1940), Andrew Davies (1996) und Roger Michell (1995). , Abstract: Seit der Durchsetzung des Tonfilms Anfang der 30er Jahre entstanden bisher über zwanzig Filmadaptationen von Janes Austens Romanen. 1940 wurde in Hollywood die erste Verfilmung ("Pride and Prejudice") produziert, die sowohl in Amerika als auch in Europa große Erfolge feiern durfte. Nach einigen Jahrzehnten der Ruhe folgten schließlich zwischen 1970 und 1986 die ersten britischen Antworten: sieben Fernseh-Filme und Mini-Serien, hauptsächlich von der BBC produziert. Das Interesse an Jane Austens Romanen und deren Adaptationsmöglichkeiten stieg weiterhin an, und so wurden allein zwischen 1995 und 1996 sechs weitere Filme produziert, davon drei aus Amerika, die restlichen aus England. Diese neue Welle von Adaptationen trug dazu bei, die Jane Austen-Kritik auf andere mediale Formen ausdehnen zu können. Drei dieser Produktionen erreichten einen hohen Grad an kommerziellem Erfolg: die BBC-A&E Miniserie "Pride and Prejudice" (September 1995, Davies/ Langton), die Mirage-Columbia Verfilmung "Sense and Sensibility" (Dezember 1995, Thompson/Lee) und die Miramax-Produktion "Emma" (Juli 1996, McGrath). Auch die eher ein jüngeres Publikum ansprechende, moderne Adaptation von Emma unter dem Titel "Clueless" (Juli 1995, Heckerling) von Paramount Pictures zeigte, dass Austens Roman "proves itself to be surprisingly malleable and readily adaptable to the contemporary period."5 Weitere Austen-Adaptationen, die nicht an dem Erfolg ihrer Vorgänger anschließen konnten, aber doch die positive Aufmerksamkeit der Kritiker auf sich zogen, waren die BBC-Verfilmung "Persuasion" (April 1995, Dear/Michell) und die Meridian-A&E Miniserie "Emma" (November 1996, Davies/Lawrence), die im britischen Fernsehen ausgestrahlt wurde. Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es, den Film als Rezeptionsform von Literatur ins Blickfeld zu rücken. Dabei gilt zu beachten, dass eine Transformation von einem Medium in ein anderes grundsätzlich nicht ohne Kompromisse abläuft.
