Sense and Sensibility

After Mr. Dashwood’s death, his widow and daughters face reduced circumstances and the limits placed on them by inheritance and family relationships. The novel’s two sisters encounter love in contrasting forms: Elinor’s attachment to Edward is complicated by his existing engagement, while Marianne’s feelings for Willoughby are tested by his choices. Colonel Brandon’s patient courtship adds another strand to Marianne’s story. These intertwined relationships place questions of judgment, restraint, and emotional expression alongside the practical pressures shaping the Dashwoods’ lives. This hardcover edition is published by Chiltern Publishing and runs to 400 pages.

Elinor falls in love with Fanny's brother, Edward, who is engaged. Marianne falls in love with the dashing Willoughby. He manipulates her emotions but then marries another woman. The older Colonel Brandon patiently courts Marianne. Edward asks for Elinor's hand in marriage after ending his engagement. The two couples happily marry..

Chiltern Publishing was formed in 2018 with a vision to create the most beautiful classics. Jane Austen's original books (particularly Pride and Prejudice) from the 1800s were our inspiration. So, using a perfect mix of tradition and the very latest in printing techniques, 19th Century quality has met 21st Century technology. The specification of our books reflects the size and format of the original Jane Austen books, and this is maintained throughout all of our editions. With wonderfully detailed covers, sparkling gilt edges, creamy pages, and stitched binding they are the most beautiful classics ever published.


This book has a matching lined journal (sold separately). They make a great gift when paired together but are also just as beautiful on their own.
