Watson Ailesi

Rate this book
Jane Austen’ın 1803’te yazmaya başlayıp tamamlayamadığı romanı Watson Ailesi yazarın daha sonra kaleme aldığı diğer eserlerine bir girizgâh niteliği taşıyor. Kıvrak zekâsının ürünü müthiş ironisiyle, İngiliz orta sınıfının ahlak anlayışını, çarpık zihniyetini sakınmadan eleştirdiği öbür yapıtlarını hiç de aratmayan bu kısa roman Emma’yla ilk karşılaşmadır aslında. İki oğlu ve dört kızı olan dul bir din adamının en küçük kızı Emma Watson, Shropshire'lı zengin teyzesinin yanında geçirdiği on dört senenin ardından yoksul baba evine dönmek zorunda kalır. Genç kadının huzurlu ve refah içindeki hayatı, bildiği tek evi terk edip hatırlamadığı bir aileye dönmek zorunda kalmasıyla altüst olur. İyi bir eğitim almış Emma’nın ilk hayal kırıklığı iki kız kardeşinin pervasızca giriştikleri koca avcılığı olur. Peki Emma uyum sağlayamadığı ailesinden ve bu yeni çevreden kaçabilecek midir?

Jane Austen was an English novelist known primarily for her six novels, which implicitly interpret, critique, and comment upon the English landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Austen's plots often explore the dependence of women on marriage for the pursuit of favourable social standing and economic security. Her works are an implicit critique of the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century literary realism. Her deft use of social commentary, realism and biting irony have earned her acclaim among critics and scholars.

The anonymously published Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), and Emma (1816), were a modest success but brought her little fame in her lifetime. She wrote two other novels—Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, both published posthumously in 1817—and began another, eventually titled Sanditon, but died before its completion. She also left behind three volumes of juvenile writings in manuscript, the short epistolary novel Lady Susan, and the unfinished novel The Watsons.
Since her death Austen's novels have rarely been out of print. A significant transition in her reputation occurred in 1833, when they were republished in Richard Bentley's Standard Novels series (illustrated by Ferdinand Pickering and sold as a set). They gradually gained wide 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. Her work has inspired a large number of critical essays and has been included in many literary anthologies. Her novels have also inspired many films, including 1940's Pride and Prejudice, 1995's Sense and Sensibility and 2016's Love & Friendship.
