Jane Austen Illustrator: . Sense and Sensibility, Peacock/ Atlantic Publishers & Distributors (P) Ltd. 2009 ISBN: 9788124800256

New Softcover . Sense and Sensibility, the first of Austen s novels to be published, remains as fresh as ever it was. The basic theme of the novel is concerned with the personalities of the two sisters of contrasting temperaments who share comparable experiences in the loss of the men they love. Elinor, practical and conventional, is the perfection of sense. Marianne, emotional and sentimental, is the embodiment of sensibility. While Elinor s character is one of Augustan detachment, Marianne is a feverent disciple of the Romantic age. Elinor desires a man who is promised to another. Marianne loves a scoundrel who deserts her. Their mutual pangs of tragic love bring a closer understanding between the two sisters and true love finally wins when sense gives way to sensibility, and sensibility gives way to sense. The novel authentically depicts early nineteenth-century middle-class provincialism. Written with forceful insight and gentle irony, the work is of lasting interest on the mores and manners of Austen s time. Printed Pages: 342. First edition

Jane,Austen: Sense and Sensibility, Random House Inc., September 2007 ISBN: 0307386872
In its marvelously perceptive portrayal of two young women in love, Sense and Sensibility is the answer to those critics and readers who believe that Jane Austen's novels, despite their perfection of form and tone, lack strong feeling. Its two heroines--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.
