Jane Austen's sardonic humour lays bare the strategems, the hypocrisy and the poignancy inherent in the struggles 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 fervant disciple of the Romantic Age, learns to curb her passionate nature in the interests of survival. This book, the first of Austen's novel to be published, remains as fresh a cautionary tale today as it ever was.
