Two sisters, two approaches to love and hardship

After Mr. Dashwood’s death, his widow and daughters face a sharply reduced income and the consequences of an inheritance that favors his son. Austen’s novel traces Elinor and Marianne Dashwood’s different romantic attachments, placing family obligation, financial dependence, and marriage at the heart of their circumstances. The sisters’ contrasting experiences connect private feeling with the practical limits shaping women’s lives in the novel’s world.

Book overview

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.

Sense and Sensibility is a novel by Jane Austen in which Mrs. Dashwood and her daughters must survive on a meager allowance after the death of Mr. Dashwood. After Mr. Dashwood's death, his son John inherits his estate. John's wife, Fanny, convinces him to give his mother and sisters next to nothing. 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..
