Sense and Sensibility (Jan 2003)

amazon / b&n / dover


Two sisters, Elinor and Marianne, fall passionately in love, but behave very differently. Marianne is ruled completely by her heart and her actions are ruled by her heart in such a way that her behavior borders on improper for the time. (In fact, her behavior is almost modern!) Elinor, the more logical of the two, suffers her love silently and keeps within the social boundaries of the day.


Impressions: I read this because it's on my list of classics a writer should be familiar with. While it wasn't as boring as a number of classics I was forced to endure during my college days, it didn't do anything to improve my attitude about classics either. The one saving grace: it was mercifully short, so even though the language is sometimes hard to understand, it went fairly quickly.
