Introduction and Notes by Professor Stephen Arkin, San Francisco
University. 'Young women who have no economic or political power
must attend to the serious business of contriving material
security'. Jane Austen's sardonic humour lays bare the stratagems,
the hypocrisy and the poignancy inherent in the struggle of two
very different sisters to achieve respectability. Sense and
Sensibility is a delightful comedy of manners in which the sisters
Elinor and Marianne represent these two qualities. Elinor's
character is one of Augustan detachment, while Marianne, a fervent
disciple of the Romantic Age, learns to curb her passionate nature
in the interests of survival. This book, the first of Austen's
novels to be published, remains as fresh a cautionary tale today as
it ever was.
