Book Overview

by Jane Austen (Author), Patricia Meyer Spacks (Editor)

"Jane Austen lovers worldwide will cherish these books...Prepare yourself for a major treat."
--Christian Science Monitor

When you fall in love with this book, it will be forever.
Sense and Sensibility, published anonymously in 1811: "By A Lady," marked Jane Austen's début as a novelist. Austen's real name has since become as familiar as Shakespeare's, and this tale of sisterly devotion and romantic trials has lost none of its power to enchant. As the Dashwood sisters' struggles give way to grounded, perhaps richer happiness, the novel offers shrewd commentary on the conditions of women in early nineteenth-century England. Experience their lives and love anew with this extraordinary, annotated edition.

For beginners and experts alike--immerse yourself in Jane Austen's world: For the modern reader, our annotations provide clear explanations and illuminating context for period language and references (who are nabobs, anyway?). For the enthusiast, they offer fresh, exciting analysis--a passionate friend in the margins.

A work of art--the ideal gift: Perfect for gifting, collecting, and cherishing, this grand hardcover (9" x 9.5") brims with hundreds of full-color illustrations that vividly recreate Austen's world--its fashions, carriages, libraries, and estates.

The story: When their father dies, the Dashwood sisters' inheritance passes to their stepbrother, leaving them with greatly reduced means and uncertain futures. Passionate Marianne falls for the dashing but mysterious Willoughby despite the warnings of her ever-practical sister Elinor. Meanwhile, Elinor struggles to conceal her own attachment to Edward Ferrars--even as a shocking secret threatens her hopes. Through their experiences of love and loss, both sisters discover that neither sense nor sensibility can guarantee happiness--only the wisdom to know when each has its place.
