For Elinor Dashwood, sensible and sensitive, and her romantic, impetuous younger sister Marianne, the prospect of marrying the men they love appears remote. In a world ruled by money and self-interest, the Dashwood sisters have neither fortune nor connections. Concerned for others and for social proprieties, Elinor is ill-equipped to compete with self-centred fortune-hunters like Lucy Steele, while Marianne's unswerving belief in the truth of her own feelings makes her more dangerously susceptible to the designs of unscrupulous men.

Through her heroines' parallel experiences of love, loss, and hope, Jane Austen offers a powerful analysis of the ways in which women's lives were shaped by the claustrophobic society in which they had to survive.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Jane Austen

Uma das maiores referências da literatura inglesa, Jane Austen (1775-1817) marcou a passagem do Neoclassicismo para o Romantismo. Aos 15 anos escreveu o seu primeiro romance, publicado postumamente em 1922.

Na sua produção literária, distinguem-se habitualmente dois grandes momentos de criação. O primeiro, entre meados da década de 1790, corresponde à escrita das primeiras versões de Sensibilidade e Bom Senso – então intitulada Elinor and Marianne –, de Orgulho e Preconceito – originalmente First Impressions – e de Northanger Abbey – inicialmente chamada Susan. O segundo, já no período de maturidade em Chawton, começa com a revisão e publicação desses primeiros romances e prossegue com a escrita de Mansfield Park, Emma e Persuasão, o seu último romance completo.

Estas obras representam apenas uma parte das cerca de 35 obras e textos de Jane Austen, entre romances, novelas breves, juvenilia, sátiras e fragmentos inacabados.
