Sense And Sensibility is a novel by Jane Austen, and was her
first published work when it appeared in 1811 under the pseudonym "A
Lady". A work of romantic fiction, Sense and Sensibility is set in
southwest England between 1792 and 1797, and portrays the life and loves of the
Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne. The novel follows the young ladies to
their new home, a meagre cottage on a distant relative's property, where they
experience love, romance and heartbreak. The philosophical resolution of the
novel is ambiguous: the reader must decide whether sense and sensibility have
truly merged.
