THE PENGUIN ENGLISH LIBRARY SENSE AND SENSIBI...

The Penguin English Library Edition of Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen "The more I know of
the world  the more am I convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love. I
require so much!" Jane Austen's novel tells the story of Marianne Dashwood  who wears her heart
on her sleeve  and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby she
ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and
innuendo. Meanwhile Elinor  always sensitive to social convention  is struggling to conceal her
own romantic disappointment  even from those closest to her. Through their parallel experience
of love - and its threatened loss - the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if
they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of
love. The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English  from the
eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.
