- Sense and Sensibility is the beloved story of the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne. When their father dies, the sisters' home is inherited by their older brother (their father's son from an earlier marriage). Adrift in a world where they'd once been so comfortable, the sisters move, along with their mother and younger sister into a home near relatives. They meet kind and wealthy Colonel Brandon (whose property they are now renting) and Marianne becomes enthralled with the dashing Willoughby. Romances bloom and die and bloom again, and all the while the sisters stay true to their natures&;wise and practical Elinor and romantic and impulsive Marianne. Sense and Sensibility has been adapted several times, most notably as the 1995 Academy-Award winning film written by Emma Thompson and directed by Ang Lee.
- One of England's most beloved authors, Jane Austen wrote such classic novels as Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Emma, and Northanger Abbey. Published anonymously during her life, Austen's work was renowned for its realism, humour, and commentary on English social rites and society at the time. Austen's writing was supported by her family, particularly by her brother, Henry, and sister, Cassandra, who is believed to have destroyed, at Austen's request, her personal correspondence after Austen's death in 1817. Austen's authorship was revealed by her nephew in A Memoir of Jane Austen, published in 1869, and the literary value of her work has since been recognized by scholars around the world.
