内容简介

简介 　　《理智与情感》是英国女小说家简·奥斯汀的**部小说。小说的情节围绕着两位女主人公的择偶活动展开，着力揭示出当时英国社会潮流中，以婚配作为女子寻求经济保障、提高经济地位的恶习，重门第而不顾女子感情和做人权利的丑陋时尚。小说中的女主角均追求与男子思想感情的平等交流与沟通，要求社会地位上的平等权利，坚持独立观察、分析和选择男子的自由。在当时的英国，这几乎无异于反抗的呐喊。 　　 本书为英语原著版。

I am sure she will be married to Mr. Willoughby very soon.""You have said so," replied Elinor, "almost everyday since they firstmet on High-church Down; and they had not known each other a week, Ibelieve, before you were certain that Marianne wore his picture round herneck; but it turned out to be only the miniature of our great uncle.""But indeed this is quite another thing.
