Author: Jane Austen
Sense and
Sensibility was anonymously published in 1811.
It was the
first of Jane Austen’s novels to be published.
The Main Players: Elinor and Marianne Dashwood
(sisters), Mr. Edward Ferrars, Colonel Brandon, Mr. John Willoughby
Plot Lines: A sudden bereavement, a visiting
relation, a remove to the country, money matters, suitable and unsuitable
affairs of the heart, several disappointments, a trip to town, a teenage
pregnancy revealed, some timely manipulation and a final resolution.
A Personal Note: I have mentioned Sense and
Sensibility before on Too Folk To Be Cool, so I thought it would be apt for it
to be the first up on my new *Recommends* segment. I Love Sense and Sensibility,
it is one of my favourite books. I read it or listen to it on audio book fairly
regularly and I never stop delighting in its well woven tale.
I am also a
huge fan of the 1995 film adaptation by Emma Thompson, which was directed by
Ang Lee. To read or watch I don’t think you can get any higher in entertainment
value.
