Read a sample Read a sample
The classic masterpiece that has captivated generations of readers, following two sisters who must balance emotion and reason to find suitable husbands—now in development as a major motion picture starring Daisy Edgar-Jones.
This edition features an introduction by Pulitzer Prize finalist David Gates, in addition to new explanatory notes.
Published in 1811, Sense and Sensibility has delighted generations of readers with its masterfully crafted portrait of two sisters, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood. Forced to leave their home after their father’s death, Elinor, the sensible sister, and Marianne, the over-imaginative romantic, must rely on making good marriages as their means of support. But unscrupulous cads, meddlesome matriarchs, and various guileless and artful women impinge on their chances for love and happiness. The novelist Elizabeth Bowen wrote, “The technique of [Jane Austen's novels] is beyond praise. . . . Her mastery of the art she chose, or that chose her, is complete.”
