Description: Published in 1811, Sense and Sensibility has delighted ì generations of readers with its masterfully crafted portrait of ì two sisters, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood. Forced to leave their ì home after their father's death, Elinor and Marianne must rely on ì making good marriages as their means of support. But unscrupulous ì cads, meddlesome matriarchs, and various guileless and artful ì women impinge on their chances for love and happiness. The ì novelist Elizabeth Bowen wrote, "The technique of [Jane Austen's ì novels] is beyond praise....Her mastery of the art she chose, or ì that chose her, is complete."
