文章分析:
①Unlike most Jane Austen scholarship?before 1980, much recent scholarship analyzes the novels of Austen, who lived from 1775 to 1817, in the context of Austen’s tumultuous?times, which saw the French and American revolutions and the Napole'onic?Wars.?②Yet?Frantz notes another revolution, rarely mentioned in Austen scholarship: the Great Masculine?Renunciation?that altered conventions in men’s dress and behavior.?③During the later eighteenth century, wealthy gentlemen exchanged?the velvets?and satins long in fashion for somber?woolen suits.?④Frantz contends?that this change reflected deeper cultural changes.?⑤The value once placed on men’s expressiveness, reflected in Mackenzie’s novel?The Man of Feeling?(1771), gave way to a preference for emotional restraint. ⑥In Austen’s novels, the heroine often struggles to glimpse the true nature of hero beneath his reserved exterior.?
最后一句,想想《傲慢與偏見》,就很容易理解為什么伊麗莎白一開始看不透達(dá)西了。

Jane Austen

"Let other pens dwell on guilt and misery." - Jane Austen
Jane Austen?(/??st?n,???s-/; 16 December 1775?– 18 July 1817) was an English novelist known primarily for her six major novels, which interpret, critique and comment upon the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Austen's plots often explore the dependence of women on marriage in the pursuit of favourable social standing and economic security. Her works critique the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century literary realism.?Her use of biting irony, along with her realism, humour, and social commentary, have long earned her acclaim among critics, scholars, and popular audiences alike.
With the publications of?Sense and Sensibility?(1811), ?Pride and Prejudice?(1813),?Mansfield Park?(1814) and?Emma?(1816), she achieved success as a published writer. She wrote two additional novels,?Northanger Abbey?and?Persuasion, both published posthumously in 1818, and began another, eventually titled?Sanditon, but died before its completion. She also left behind three volumes of juvenile writings in manuscript, a short epistolary novel?Lady Susan, and another unfinished novel,?The Watsons. Her six full-length novels have rarely been out of print, although they were published anonymously and brought her moderate success and little fame during her lifetime.
A significant transition in her posthumous reputation occurred in 1833, when her novels were republished in Richard Bentley's Standard Novels series, illustrated by Ferdinand Pickering, and sold as a set.?They gradually gained wider acclaim and popular readership. In 1869, fifty-two years after her death, her nephew's publication of?A Memoir of Jane Austen?introduced a compelling version of her writing career and supposedly uneventful life to an eager audience.
Austen has inspired many critical essays and literary anthologies. Her novels have inspired many films, from 1940's?Pride and Prejudice?to more recent productions like?Sense and Sensibility?(1995),?Emma?(1996),?Mansfield Park?(1999),?Pride & Prejudice?(2005), and ?Love & Friendship?(2016).?

Napoleonic?Wars
The?Napoleonic Wars?(1803–1815) were a series of major conflicts pitting the?French Empire?and its allies, led by?Napoleon I, against a fluctuating array of?European powers formed into various coalitions, financed and usually led by the?United Kingdom. The wars stemmed from the unresolved disputes associated with the?French Revolution?and its?resultant conflict. The wars are often categorised into five conflicts, each termed after the coalition that fought Napoleon: the?Third Coalition?(1805), the?Fourth?(1806–07), the?Fifth?(1809), the?Sixth?(1813), and the?Seventh?(1815).?

Frantz Fanon (/?f?n?n/; 20 July 1925 – 6 December 1961), also known as Ibrahim Frantz Fanon, was a French West Indian?psychiatrist and political philosopher from the French colony of Martinique (today a French department), whose works are influential in the fields of post-colonial studies, critical theory and Marxism.

the?Great?Masculine?Renunciation
The?Great Male Renunciation?is the historical phenomenon at the end of the 18th century in which men stopped using brilliant or refined forms in their dress, which were left to women's clothing.?Coined by psychoanalyst John Flügel in 1930, it is considered a major turning point in the history of clothing in which the men relinquish their claim to adornment and beauty. The Great Renunciation encouraged the establishment of the suit's monopoly on male dress codes at the beginning of the 19th century.
The fashion movement was associated with American republicanism, with Benjamin Franklin giving up his wig during the revolution, and later the Gold Spoon Oration of 1840 denouncing Martin Van Buren.

Mackenzie’s novel?The Man of Feeling?(1771)
