反讽是简.奥斯丁创作的一大艺术特色。从历史文化语境下进行观照,18世纪女性写作被主流文化所排斥,玛丽.沃斯通克拉夫特这一文学历史事件更使女性作家的创作背景雪上加霜。所有这些促成了置身其中的简.奥斯丁选择了反讽的创作策略,从而使其既间接隐晦地表达了自己的思想,又有效地回避了由于文本的开放性而招来的抵制和攻击。 Irony is Jane Austen’s major artistic feature. From the perspective of historical and cultural context, female writers in the 18th century were rejected by the mainstream culture, and Mary Wortstone Kraft’s literary history made the background of the female writers even worse. All of these contributed to Jane A. Austin chose the irony of creative strategies, so that it indirectly and subtly express their own ideas, but also effectively avoided due to the openness of the text brought in the boycott and attack.
