The first of Jane Austen’s novels to be published, Sense and Sensibility marked the debut of England’s primary novelist of manners. Convinced that “three or four families in a country village is the very thing to work upon”, Austen created a brilliant tragicomedy of flirtation and folly.
Genteel dinner parties at a stately manor and romantic walks through luxuriant Devonshire draw two attractive sisters into the manipulations of landed gentry determined to marry well. But neither sense nor sensibility can guarantee happiness for either.
