About this ebook
Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Meanwhile Elinor, always sensitive to social convention, is struggling to conceal her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her. Through their parallel experience of love - and its threatened loss - the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love. This edition also includes explanatory notes and textual variants between first and second edition.

About the author
Jane Austen (1775–1817) was an English novelist who transformed literature through her sharp-witted and realistic portrayals of middle-class life in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Born into a clergyman's family in Steventon, Hampshire, she lived a relatively quiet life centered on family and social circles, which provided the primary inspiration for her six major novels.
