Sentido y sensibilidad

In Sense and Sensibility, Jane Austen subtly and ironically explores the choices available to women in a rigid society where success or failure hinges on the husband's choice. The story centers on two sisters, Elinor and Marianne, whose contrasting personalities exemplify two possible female responses to the prevailing hypocrisy: "common sense" and "sensibility." However, both paths are fraught with peril. This edition includes a detailed chronology and restores the introduction from the original Penguin Classics edition by Tony Tanner, one of the leading experts on Jane Austen's work, to whose study he dedicated much of his career. He was Professor of English and American Literature at the University of Cambridge.
