Sense and Sensibility | Jane Austen | Wordsworth Collector’s Edition |

Sense and Sensibilityis Jane Austens first published novel. It tells the much-loved story of the two, very different, Dashwood sisters. Elinor suppresses her own emotions out of a keen sense of responsibility to her family and friends, while Marianne is highly expressive and romantic. When their father dies, British law leaves everything to their half-brother and his tight-fisted wife, and Elinor and Marianne, along with their mother and younger sister, have to move to a cottage on a relatives estate where they experience the full spectrum of romance and betrayal.
