Sense and Sensibility (Hardback)

€9.95

‘Young women who have no economic or political power must attend to the serious business of contriving material security’

Jane Austen’s sardonic humour lays bare the stratagems, the hypocrisy and the poignancy inherent in the struggle of two very different sisters to achieve respectability. Sense and Sensibility is a delightful comedy of manners in which the sisters Elinor and Marianne personifications of good sense (common sense) and sensibility (emotionality), respectively as they cope with romantic relationships in 19th-century middle-class life.
