Sense and Sensibility - Everyman's Library Classics Series

In its marvelously perceptive portrayal of two young women in love, Sense and Sensibility is the answer to those who believe that Jane Austen?s novels, despite their perfection of form and tone, lack strong feeling.

Its two heroines, Marianne and Elinor?so utterly unlike each other?both undergo the most violent passions when they are separated from the men they love. What differentiates them, and gives this extroardinary book its complexity and brilliance, is the way each expresses her suffering: Marianne?young, impetuous, ardent?falls into paroxysms of grief when she is rejected by the dashing John Willoughby; while her sister, Elinor?wiser, more sensible, more self-controlled?masks her despair when it appears that Edward Ferrars is to marry the mean-spirited and cunning Lucy Steele. All, of course, ends happily?but not until Elinor?s ?sense? and Marianne?s ?sensibility? have equally worked to reveal the profound emotional life that runs beneath the surface of Austen?s immaculate and irresistible art.
