By Bright Summaries

Unlock the more straightforward side of Sense and Sensibility with this concise and insightful summary and analysis!

This engaging summary presents an analysis of Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen, which follows the romantic trials and tribulations of two sisters, Marianne and Elinor Dashwood. While Marianne is impetuous and rushes headlong into relationships with no regard for social propriety, Elinor is much more reserved, to the point that she is often seen as cold and unfeeling. As well as exploring their contrasting approaches to love, Austen paints a vivid and humorous portrait of 19th-century middle-class society and its conventions. Sense and Sensibility first appeared in 1811, making it Austen’s first published novel. Along with her other celebrated novels (Northanger Abbey, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma and Persuasion), it has captivated generations of readers and is still widely read and studied today. It has also inspired an Academy Award-winning 1995 film.
