| | Sense and Sensibility - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In 1811, Sense and Sensibility was the first published novel of the English author Jane Austen (1775–1817). | | | When the first edition of Sense and Sensibility was published, it sold out all 750 copies by July 1813, and a second edition was advertised in October 1813. | | | The first edition was said only to be "by a lady." The second edition, also anonymous, contained on the title page the inscription "by the author of Pride and Prejudice," which had been issued in January 1813 (though Austen had not been credited on the title page of this novel either). |

| | Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility |
| | Brandon is lauded for being "sensible" and "gentlemanlike" and for his generosity to Edward (32). | | | Sense, in this novel, is the proper master of sensibility. | | | In an age that extolled the virtues of expressing emotion and being sensible to the beauty of nature and literature, Jane Austen wrote a novel to champion sense and moderation. |

| | Sense and Sensibility is a wonderful motion picture, even given the weaknesses of the source material. | | | The novel's flaws guarantee that Sense and Sensibility cannot be a perfect motion picture, but it would be difficult, I think, to do much better with the material than Emma Thompson and director Ang Lee have here. | | | Emma Thompson's screenplay has remained faithful to the events and spirit of the book, while somehow managing to plug a few holes and infuse the tale with more light humour than is evident in Austen's original text. |

| | Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen: A searchable online version at The Literature Network |
| | Whereas the former is a sensible, rational creature, her younger sister is wildly romantic--a characteristic that offers Austen plenty of scope for both satire and compassion. | | | In my opinion, "Sense and sensibility" is the driest and dullest book of Austen. | | | Austen, having been bred and raised to be a proper lady in her actions and writing, has helped younger generations grasp and understand the use of manners. |

| | Sense and Sensibility |
| | Marianne Dashwood, trusting the evidence of her senses, falls passionately in love with a man who in truth is less good than he seems. | | | In her own day, Austen's work signified a break with the Gothic and sentimental novels that had long been fashionable, in which heroines were always virtuous, romance was always sentimentalized, and unlikely but convenient coincidences and acts of God always occurred to bring about the dramatic climax. | | | Chock-full of stock characters, vapid and virtuous heroines, and improbable coincidences, these early works reveal in nascent form many of her literary gifts: particularly her ironic sensibility, wit, and gift for comedy. |

| | Guardian Unlimited Books Review Sense and sensibility |
| | Without her sense of them, her sense for them, as one may say, they are next to nothing at all; but isn't the beauty and the difficulty just in showing their mystic conversion by that sense, conversion into the stuff of drama or, even more delightful word still, of 'story'?" | | | There is something poignant and slightly desperate in his argument, in the preface to the New York edition of The Portrait of a Lady, that it is the character and sensibility of Isabel Archer that makes what happens to her interesting. | | | There is no empirical reality against which we can check the truth of Henry James's account of her consciousness. |

| | Austen, Jane: Sense and Sensibility |
| | Lack of sensibility altogether is not, however, a virtue; Austen condemns her least likable characters as "reserved, cold" (26) and insensible to others as subjects. | | | But whereas Marianne indulges her exorbitant sensibility in her relationship with, and loss of, her suitor Willoughby, Elinor's quiet good sense enables her to bear up when it seems her suitor, Edward Ferrars, will marry another woman. | | | As a result of this inauspicious display of poor judgment, the dashing Willoughby literally sweeps her off her (injured) feet and the pair enter upon a series of inappropriate actions--exchanging locks of hair, visiting Willoughby's house unchaperoned, sending letters--that renders Marianne's grief more painful when Willoughby discards her for a wealthier young woman. |

| | Although the template of Sense and Sensibility is familiar, the quality is undeniable. | | | Okay, there may be one distinguishing factor between Sense and Sensibility and its ilk: director Lee is Taiwanese, but still observes this very English story with exquisite warmth and period detail. | | | By default it has all the trappings of the typical Austen story: unrequited loves, womanizing cads, rustic English landscapes, subtle social subversions, grand estates, and maidens desperate to marry a man of means (and for love, if that's possible). |

| | What gives "Sense and Sensibility" its tension and mystery is that the characters rarely say what they mean. | | | And I appreciated the way Thompson's Elinor kept her character's face carefully expressionless as she negotiated scenes in which some knew her secrets and others did not. | | | The scene, for example, when the hapless Edward (Grant) finds himself unexpectedly in the presence of two women, neither one of whom should know about the other. |

| | As the title suggests, Sense and Sensibility is, in some ways, a debate about the principles of rationalism, represented by Elinor Dashwood, and those of Romanticism, represented by her sister Marianne. | | | Sense and Sensibility was written in the late 1790s but much revised before publication in 1811. | | | It reminds us that Marianne once wanted a marriage in the Romantic tradition and has got a rational one instead. |

| | Dashwood's estimation he was as faultless as in Marianne's; and Elinor saw nothing to censure in him but a propensity, in which he strongly resembled and peculiarly delighted her sister, of saying too much what he thought on every occasion, without attention to persons or circumstances. | | | Elinor needed little observation to perceive that her reserve was a mere calmness of manner, with which sense had nothing to do. | | | There was nothing in any of the party which could recommend them as companions to the Dashwoods; but the cold insipidity of Lady Middleton was so particularly repulsive, that in comparison of it the gravity of Colonel Brandon, and even the boisterous mirth of Sir John and his mother-in-law, was interesting. |

| | In the case of Sense and Sensibility, it is only in the second and then increasingly in the third volume of the novel that events are attached to cited months, dates, or days of the week. | | | To this I add the characteristically modest, and carefully-qualified, but determined statement Austen's niece, Caroline Austen made in 1869 that Sense and Sensibility was first told in letters: "Memory is treacherous, but I cannot be mistaken in saying that Sense and Sensibility was first written in letters, and so read to her family." | | | No-one has as yet drawn out and explained the chronology of Sense and Sensibility. |
