JANE<br />
AUSTEN<br />
Austen lived her entire life as part of a closeknit<br />
family located on the lower fringes of<br />
the English landed gentry. She was educated<br />
primarily by her father and older brothers as<br />
well as through her own reading. The steadfast<br />
support of her family was critical to her<br />
development as a professional writer. Her artistic<br />
apprenticeship lasted from her teenage<br />
years until she was about 35 years old. During<br />
this period, she experimented with various<br />
literary forms, including the epistolary<br />
novel which she tried then abandoned, and<br />
wrote and extensively revised three major<br />
novels and began a fourth.<br />
Austen’s works critique the novels of sensibility<br />
of the second half of the 18th century<br />
and are part of the transition to 19th-century<br />
realism. Her plots, though fundamentally<br />
comic, highlight the dependence of women<br />
on marriage to secure social standing and<br />
economic security.<br />
“I wish, as well as everybody else,<br />
to be perfectly happy; but, like everybody else,<br />
it must be in my own way.”<br />
Jane Austen was an English novelist whose works of romantic<br />
fiction, set among the landed gentry, earned her a place as one of the<br />
most widely read writers in English literature, her realism and biting<br />
social commentary cementing her historical importance among<br />
scholars and critics.<br />

SENSE AND SENSIBILITY<br />
MARIANNE &<br />
ELLINOR<br />
Marianne Dashwood wears her<br />
heart on her sleeve, and when she<br />
falls in love with the dashing but<br />
unsuitable John Willoughby she ignores<br />
her sister Elinor’s warning that her impulsive<br />
behaviour leaves her open to gossip<br />
and innuendo.<br />
Meanwhile Elinor, always sensitive to<br />
social convention, is struggling to conceal<br />
her own romantic disappointment, even<br />
from those closest to her.<br />
Through their parallel experience of<br />
love<strong>–</strong>and its threatened loss<strong>–</strong>the sisters<br />
learn that sense must mix with sensibility<br />
if they are to fi nd personal happiness in a<br />
society where status and money govern the<br />
rules of love.<br />
