1811Sense and Sensibility
Jane Austen
Dispossessed of their home, the Dashwood sisters, prudent Elinor and passionate Marianne, retire to a Devon cottage and are schooled by love and disappointment in the balance of sense and sensibility. Austen sets the story across a real England: the Sussex estate they lose, the Devon country of their new life and Marianne's romance, the London where hearts are broken, and the western house where illness brings the reckoning.
