A new, beautifully laid-out edition of Jane Austen's timeless classic. Sense and Sensibility is centered around the romantic adventures of the Dashwood sisters after they are cast out from the family home after the death of their father. The sensible and reserved eldest sister, Elinor, is the "sense" half of the novel's title, while the younger and more emotionally expressive Marianne is the "sensibility" half. The tensions and contrasts between these characters form the dramatic arch and moral focus on the story. It is because of these remarkably well-drawn and realistic characters that Sense and Sensibility, originally published in 1811, is still so widely read and beloved today and has been the subject of multiple successful TV and movie adaptations. Jane Austen (1775-1817) was an English novelist known for her novels about the British landed gentry and the social, economic, and romantic pressures faced by young women. Her comic wit and use of irony and literary realism have given her novels remarkable staying power, staying as relevant and meaningful to readers today as during her own time. Media ><
