Summary

Sense and Sensibility is written with all the hallmarks of Austen's style, providing strong female protagonists, great irony and wit and showcasing her superb talent for character creation and dialogue. Jane Austen's first published novel, Sense and Sensibility, tells the classic tale of love and heartbreak in late 18th century England. The story follows the romantic trials and tribulations of the daughters of the recently widowed Mrs. Dashwood as they encounter, and learn to handle, the emotionally reckless male characters of Georgian society. In order to find happiness, the two teenage heroines (Marianne and Elinor) must each learn to navigate through a life where status and money govern the rules of love.
