Sense And Sensibility: A Classic Novel by Jane Austen Deluxe Edition

Jane Austen's first published novel, generally acclaimed as a masterpiece of nineteenth-century literature, repackaged for the Union Square & Co. Signature Clothbound Editions line.

Marianne Dashwood can't understand her sister. How could the attractive, witty, and charming Elinor fall for the quiet, self-effacing, and rather dull Edward Ferrars?

And, if the two are in love, why don't they shout it to the world? Meanwhile, Elinor worries that Mariannes heart-first approach to life will hurt her, especially when it comes to the dashing John Willoughby.

The two sisters spar good-naturedly over the merits of full-blown emotionalism versus reticence and self-discipline in matters of the heart. Fond as they are of each other, each is certain that hers is the only true path to love.

Meanwhile, both Edward and Willoughby harbor secrets that will force these women to doubt their philosophies, their judgment, and their chances for happiness.
