"Sense and Sensibility (Huang Yu-ning Introduction Edition) SHE Classic Badge Edition" Author: [UK] Jane Austen Publisher: Beijing Yanshan Publishing House

Introduction · · · · · ·
Sense and Sensibility is Jane Austen's first officially published work, and its brilliance is often overshadowed by Pride and Prejudice. In fact, the beauty of Sense and Sensibility requires a longer time to savor.

The novel focuses on the complicated marriages of Elinor and Marianne, and through the humorous contrast of "reason and emotion", it raises the issue of morality and behavior. Although the two sisters have different personalities, they are unwilling to give in easily under the pressure of survival, and neither wants marriage to become a "financial product" in a certain sense. In Austen's view, women in a disadvantaged position can only achieve complete happiness through this means of continuous self-improvement.
