Two sisters of opposing temperaments who share the pangs of tragic
love provide the theme for Jane Austen's dramatically human
narrative. Elinor, practical and conventional, is the perfection of
sense. Marianne, emotional and sentimental, is the embodiment of
sensibility. To each comes the sorrow of unhappy love. 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. Jane Austen's
authentic representation of early-nineteenth-century middle-class
provincial life, written with forceful insight and gentle irony,
makes her novels the enduring works on the mores and manners of her
time. With an Introduction by Margaret Drabbleand an Afterword by
Mary Balogh
