Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen

WHAT WE’RE READING: Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen

WHAT ITS ABOUT:
Sense and Sensibility (working title: Elinor and Marianne) is the first published novel by the English author Jane Austen, appearing in 1811. It was published anonymously: By A Lady appears on the title page where the author's name might have been.

The novel is probably set between 1792 and 1797. Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Meanwhile Elinor, always sensitive to social convention, is struggling to conceal her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her. Through their parallel experience of love—and its threatened loss—the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love.
