Jane?Austen,A?Transitional?Writer?innbs 【摘??要】简·奥斯汀是英国文学史上18世纪末新古典主义过渡到19世纪初浪漫主义的重要代表作家。本文重点从两方面探讨她的过渡性：一方面从作品的主题看，大部分奥斯汀的小说都反映了人们对婚姻态度及观念的变化；另一方面，从写作风格上看，她的作品以喜剧的形式讽刺社会，令人深思。 【关键词】简·奥斯；过渡时期 As?we?all?know,?it?is?not?until?the?second?half?of?the?18th?century?that?women?novelists?began?to?appear?in?England.?And?some?gifted?women?from?the?end?of?the?18th?century?to?19th?century?made?some?contributions?to?the?development?of?the?English?novel,?which?even?won?their?places?in?the?front?ranks?of?some?realists?like?Charles?Dickens,?William?Makepeace?Thackeray,?etc.?Jane?Austen?(1775-1817)?was?just?such?a?great?woman?writer?in?this?period.?She?brought?the?English?novel?to?its?maturity?and?her?satirical?fictions?marked?the?transition?from?the?18th-century?neoclassicism?to?the?19th-century?romanticism?in?the?English?literature.
