Description
Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility: An Annotated Edition offers a deeper understanding of her portrayal of two sisters navigating love, romance, and heartbreak. Patricia Meyer Spacks provides guidance to readers, elucidating language and allusions that have become obscure, drawing comparisons to Austen's other work, and exploring the social and psychological restrictions faced by women in Austen's era. In this annotated edition, Spacks examines Austen's sympathy with both Elinor and Marianne, highlighting how they share "sense" and "sensibility," and must learn from each other. The novel reveals darker overtones, including the issue of social and psychological restrictions on women. With its handsomely illustrated reproductions, this edition vividly recreates Austen's world. A welcome addition to any library, this annotated edition provides a fresh perspective on Austen's story, shedding new light on her heroines' experiences and the complexities of their relationships.
