Sense and Sensibility

Jane Austen - 1992, Wordsworth Classics

Overview

Young women lacking economic or political power must focus on securing their material well-being. Jane Austen's sharp wit reveals the strategies, insincerity, and pathos involved in the quest for respectability undertaken by two sisters with distinct personalities. This novel is a charming comedy of manners, contrasting Elinor's measured detachment with Marianne's passionate, Romantic spirit as she learns to temper her nature for survival.
