Sense and Sensibility

Book • 1811
Published in 1811, 'Sense and Sensibility' is Jane Austen's first published novel.

It tells the story of the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne, who, along with their mother and younger sister Margaret, are forced to leave their family estate after their father's death.

The novel explores the contrast between Elinor's practical sense and Marianne's emotional sensibility as they experience romantic relationships and heartbreak.

Elinor falls in love with Edward Ferrars, who is secretly engaged to another woman, while Marianne becomes infatuated with the unscrupulous John Willoughby.

Through their experiences, Austen delves into themes of love, social class, and the balance between reason and emotion necessary for personal happiness.
