Autorentext
Jane Austen (17751817) wurde in Steventon, Hampshire, geboren und wuchs im elterlichen Pfarrhaus auf. Nach Meinung ihres Bruders führte sie »ein ereignisloses Leben«. Sie heiratete nie. Ihre literarische Welt war die des englischen Landadels, deren wohl kaschierte Abgründe sie mit feiner Ironie und Satire entlarvte. Psychologisches Feingefühl und eine lebendige Sprache machen ihre scheinbar konventionellen Liebesgeschichten zu einer spannenden Lektüre. Vor einigen Jahren wurde Jane Austen auch vom Kino wiederentdeckt: »Sinn und Sinnlichkeit« mit Emma Thompson und Kate Winslet gewann 1996 den Golden Globe als bester Film des Jahres und den Oscar für das beste Drehbuch; »Stolz und Vorurteil« mit Keira Knightley war 2006 für vier Oscars nominiert. »Emma« wurde 2009 von der BBC als vierteilige Fernsehserie gezeigt und mit einem Emmy ausgezeichnet. »Verstand und Gefühl« wurde 2011 gleich zweimal, 2014 ein weiteres Mal in modernen Adaptionen verfilmt. Ihre Werke »Verstand und Gefühl«, »Northanger Abbey«, »Überredung«, »Mansfield Park«, »Überredung« und »Emma« sind auch als hochkarätige Hörspielinszenierungen erschienen.
