DESCRIPTION
The romantic Sense and Sensibility was Jane Austen’s first book to be published and came out in 1811 under the name A Lady. Jane Austen was just 19 years-of-age when she wrote the first draft of Sense and Sensibility in 1795. Originally the manuscript was written as a series of letters and was called Elinor and Marianne. In later drafts Austen changed he manuscript to the narrative form and retitled the book Sense and Sensibility.
Sense and Sensibility is one of Austen’s most endearing books and is certainly one of the most famous titles in English literature. The book is a comedy of manners and tells of the life and loves of sisters Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, who find that they have to move home and settle into a small cottage on a relative’s estate. The story is set in southwest England and takes place between 1792 and 1797, during which time the sisters find love, romance and eventually heartbreak.
Jane Austen was born on 16 December 1775 and has become one of the most widely read authors of romantic literary fiction in the English language. Not only has she brought delight to readers of all ages over the last two centuries, but her social observation and witty commentary have become of great interest to academics and historians.
Austen was educated by her father and her elder brothers as she grew up within a close family on the periphery of the English landed gentry. Her family was her greatest support and they encouraged her writing, which enabled to experiment with voice and form, helping her to develop the literary style. During her lifetime Austen published four novels, Sense and Sensibility in 1811, Pride and Prejudice in 1813, Mansfield Park in 1814 and Emma in 1816.
Jane Austen died on 18 July 1817 at the age of forty-one. She had completed two other manuscripts, which were published posthumously, in 1818, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion. She had started work on a seventh novel, Sanditon, but passed away before she could complete the manuscript.
This eBook is certain to provide any reader with hours of delight and pleasure, as they enjoy her wonderful literary style, humour and observation of early 17th century English society.
