Sense and Sensibility Summary
|
Sense and Sensibility -- Adobe PDF ebook. Jane Austen’s classic work. |
|
|
| The family of Dashwood had long been settled in Sussex. Their estate was large, and their residence was at Norland Park, in the centre of their property, where, for many generations, they had lived in so respectable a manner as to engage the general good opinion of their surrounding acquaintance. The late owner of this estate was a single man, who lived to a very advanced age, and who for many years of his life, had a constant companion and housekeeper in his sister. But her death, which happened ten years before his own, produced a great alteration in his home; for to supply her loss, he invited and received into his house the family of his nephew Mr. Henry Dashwood, the legal inheritor of the Norland estate, and the person to whom he intended to bequeath it. In the society of his nephew and niece, and their children, the old Gentleman's days were comfortably spent. His attachment to them all increased. The constant attention of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Dashwood to his wishes, which proceeded not merely from interest, but from goodness of heart, gave him every degree of solid comfort which his age could receive; and the cheerfulness of the children added a relish to his existence. |
|
|
| In this novel the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne, illustrate the pursuit of differing personal qualities. Marianne believes in emotional romantic standards for her male admirers. They must possess an intense appreciation of music, art, and literature. Elinor desires a match based on quieter sentiments and steady affections which include genuine comradeship and respect that occur over time. The story begins with the death of Mr. Dashwood. Because he has a son from an earlier marriage, English law only allows for his son, John, to inherit the estate at Norland Park. A relative of Mrs. Dashwood, Sir John Middleton, offers Mrs. Dashwood and her daughters the residence of a cottage at Barton Park. He is a kind and accommodating host who helps them reorganize their lives at this new place in Devonshire. Elinor had made the acquaintance of Edward Ferrars, the brother of John's wife, Fanny, but now they must part since Edward's mother wants him to marry well and Elinor has no money. Marianne has met John Willoughby when he rescues her from a fall on the hills. She is quickly attended to by his vigilance and falls in love. The reader continues on and is completely exposed to Austen's key subject: a man should should not be judged by romantic sentiment but by moral virtues. The introduction of Colonel Brandon to Marianne helps her see that counterfeit exaggeration is of no measure beside the resolute admiration the Colonel has for her musical abilities. Modest practicality is more reliable than any short life of a tantalizing passion. When Marianne falls ill and Colonel Brandon visits her during her recovery, she understands the convincing charm of his tenderness. |

Sense and Sensibility is one of the best loved of Jane Austen's novels, populated by great comic creations like Mrs. Jennings, the unscrupulous cad Willoughby, and guileless and artful women. As ever, Austen suffuses her work with great ironic observation and tremendous wit, producing a masterpiece of romantic entanglement that time and a very different set of mores cannot diminish. Sense and Sensibility was the first of Jane Austen's novels to be published, coming out in 1811. It had a long gestation, beginning as Elinor and Marianne, an epistolary novel that Austen wrote in the 1790s. The novel centers on the sisters Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, who are forced to leave their home with their mother and younger sister, Margaret, and move in reduced circumstances to the West of England. Elinor, the sensible sister, and Marianne, the overimaginative romantic, must rely on a good marriage as a means of support. As their excellent schemes are intruded upon, Austen subtly explores the marriage game of her times, as both sense and sensibility affect the sisters' chances of happiness and comfort. |

The Dashwood sisters are very different from each other in appearance and temperament; Elinor's good sense and readiness to observe social forms contrast with Marianne's impulsive candor and warm but excessive sensibility. Both struggle to maintain their integrity and find happiness in the face of a competitive marriage market. The basis of the Columbia film, starring Emma Thompson and Hugh Grant. |

The Modern Library has played a significant role in American cultural life for the better part of a century. The series was founded in 1917 by the publishers Boni and Liveright and eight years later acquired by Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer. It provided the foundation for their next publishing venture, Random House. The Modern Library has been a staple of the American book trade, providing readers with affordable hardbound editions of important works of literature and thought. For the Modern Library's seventy-fifth anniversary, Random House redesigned the series, restoring as its emblem the running torch-bearer created by Lucian Bernhard in 1925 and refurbishing jackets, bindings, and type, as well as inaugurating a new program of selecting titles. The Modern Library continues to provide the world's best books, at the best prices. From the Hardcover edition. |

A tale of two sisters Two sisters of opposing temperaments are brought to a closer understanding by their mutual disappointments-and true love finally triumphs when sense gives way to sensibility and sensibility to sense. Austen's insightful representation of early-nineteenth-century middle-class provincial life makes her novels the enduring works on the mores and manners of her time. |
|
|
| This first of Jane Austen's published novels is the story of two starkly different English sisters: Elinor Dashwood, the epitome of prudence and self-control, and her younger, more impetuous sister Marianne, who embodies emotion, openness, and sheer enthusiasm. To each comes the sorrow of unhappy love: Elinor desires a man who is promised to another, while Marianne loses her heart to a scoundrel who jilts her. Their mutual suffering brings a closer understanding between the two sisters--and true love finally triumphs when sense gives way to sensibility and sensibility gives way to sense. Newly designed and typeset in a modern 6-by-9-inch format by Waking Lion Press. |
