Read a sample Read a sample
The first of Jane Austen's six great novels, Sense and Sensibility introduced the author to English readers as a writer of acute observation and quiet irony. In this novel, Austen places under the microscope two sisters, whose disparate natures represent the opposing forces that either threaten to topple or struggle to maintain the delicate balance of late eighteenth and early nineteenth century English society. It is a novel of comparison and contrast that is at once accessible and complex, urging the reader to contemplate the potential evils of pretence and the pitfalls of immoderation.
