Summary

Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen is a poignant exploration of love, family, and society through the lives of the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne. After their father's death, the sisters face financial insecurity and must navigate complex social expectations while pursuing romantic interests. Austen wittily contrasts their personalities—pragmatic sense versus impassioned sensibility—highlighting the challenges and choices in early 19th-century England.

Originally published in 1811, Jane Austen's first published novel is a classic novel about manners. This beautiful, leatherbound edition will make a welcome addition to any home library.

Description

When the Dashwood family estate passes to the eldest son John and his wife, Mrs. Dashwood and her daughters Elinor, Marianne, and Margaret must find a new home. Moving to a cottage in Devonshire, the Dashwood women begin adjusting to a new life and a new social circle.

Soon, Elinor is being courted by the gentlemanly Edward Ferrars, and Marianne finds herself torn between two suitors, the brooding Colonel Brandon and social-climbing scoundrel John Willoughby. The love and heartbreaks that they all endure are shaped by the temperament of their time and place and the sense and sensibility of their society.

Sense and Sensibility is one of Barnes & Noble's Collectible Editions classics. Each volume features authoritative texts by the world's greatest authors in an exquisitely designed foil-stamped binding, with distinctive coloured edging and an attractive ribbon bookmark. Decorative, durable, and collectible, these books offer hours of pleasure to readers young and old and are an indispensable cornerstone for any home library.
