Sense and Sensibility
I wish as well as every body else to be perfectly happy; but, like every body else it must be in my own way…”
Sense and Sensibility is the first published novel of beloved English author Jane Austen, released anonymously in 1811.
The story follows the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne, as they navigate the turbulence of love, loss, and societal expectation in Regency England.
Elinor embodies sense—calm, rational, and restrained—while Marianne represents sensibility—passionate, impulsive, and deeply romantic.
Together, their contrasting natures illuminate Austen’s sharp wit and timeless insights into human character.
Widely regarded as one of the cornerstones of English literature, this classic novel combines romance, humor, and social critique in equal measure.
Austen masterfully examines themes of duty and desire, class and morality, while offering a vivid portrait of women striving to balance personal happiness with the rigid conventions of their time.

About the Author:

Jane Austen
Jane Austen (1775-1817) was an English novelist whose sharp wit, moral insight, and elegant style reshaped the novel as a form.
Born in Steventon, Hampshire, she grew up in a lively, scholarly family and began writing in her teens, yet published Sense and Sensibility only in her mid-thirties.
She wrote just six major novels—such as Pride and Prejudice and Emma—that were modestly successful in her lifetime, then achieved enduring fame after her death for their portrayal of love, society, and women’s lives in Regency England.
Her works remain beloved for their humor, realism, and social commentary.
