A charming addition to any collection.At its initial release, Sense and Sensibility was a popular novel; and its success helped launch Austen's career. In depicting the personalities and loves of the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne, Austen questioned stereotypical approaches to femininity; in being fully sensible or fully emotional, neither woman can accomplish her goal of acquiring the right mate and entering into a happy life. For each, it's only through finding balance between these extremes - and thus accomplishing a deconstruction of binary views of womanhood - that they become individuals capable of loving and being loved. Illustrated with beautiful plates by Christine "Chris" Hammond, who built her reputation on designing art for Austen and George Eliot.
