Project Gutenberg 1994-09-01 Public domain in the USA. 8778 Austen, Jane 1775 1817 Sense and Sensibility There is an improved edition of this title, eBook #21839 Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sense_and_Sensibility "Sense and Sensibility" by Jane Austen is a novel written in the early 19th century that explores themes of love, relationships, and the contrasting temperaments of its main characters. The story primarily revolves around the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne, who embody the principles of reason and emotion, respectively, as they navigate through their personal and financial challenges after the loss of their father. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the Dashwood family, who are abruptly thrown into financial uncertainty following the death of their wealthy relative, which ultimately restricts their inheritances. Elinor, the practical and reserved elder sister, and Marianne, the passionate and impulsive younger sister, must come to terms with their new circumstances. We also learn about their brother, John Dashwood, who, influenced by his self-serving wife, fails to uphold his father's dying wish to provide for their mother and siblings. The opening chapters establish the sisters' contrasting personalities and set the stage for their romantic entanglements, particularly with characters such as Edward Ferrars and Mr. Willoughby, hinting at the emotional complexities that will unfold throughout the narrative.
