Description

Introduction and Notes by Professor Stephen Arkin, University of San Francisco. 'Young women who lack economic or political power must take care of the serious matter of securing material goods.' Jane Austen's sarcastic humor reveals the strategies, hypocrisy, and deep emotion involved in the struggle of two very different sisters to gain dignity. Sense and Sensibility is a delightful comedy of manners in which sisters Elinor and Marianne represent these two qualities. Elinor’s character is marked by Augustinian detachment, while Marianne, an ardent student of the Romantic Era, learns to temper her passionate nature for the sake of survival. This book, the first of Austen's novels to be published, remains as relevant as ever as a cautionary tale.
