Synopsis "Sense and Sensibility: 200th Anniversary Edition"

First released October 30, 1811; this literary classic novel is now available as a special illustrated edition to commemorate the book's 200th anniversary. This concise edition of Sense and Sensibility includes all three original volumes, plus more than 50 illustrations by world renowned artists C. E. Brock and Hugh Thomson.Austen's Sense and Sensibility has been celebrated in film, stage and television; today it is celebrated for its 200th Anniversary. The dichotomy of classicism vs romanticism is expressed in this brilliant masterpiece; as it follows two sisters as they search for love. Elinor often mirrors Austen's position on romance, but in the end Austen shows there is much to be admired in both logic and passion.(c) 2011 Queensbridge Publishing

Jane Austen

(Author)

View Author's Page

She was a British novelist who lived during the Georgian era. She was born in the rectory of Steventon (Hampshire). Her family belonged to the British gentry (rural nobility or agrarian bourgeoisie), a context she never left and in which she set all her works, always revolving around the marriage of her protagonist.

She has been portrayed in cinema on numerous occasions, sometimes faithfully reproduced, like the 1940 classic Pride and Prejudice directed by Robert Z. Leonard and starring Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier, and other times adapted to modern times, as is the case with Clueless, a loose adaptation of Emma. Other versions include Sense and Sensibility from 1995; Mansfield Park from 2000; and Pride and Prejudice in 2004 (directed by Gurinder Chadha) and in 2005 (directed by Joe Wright). However, the most faithful and perfect version of the book Pride and Prejudice to date is the series presented by the BBC starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. The interest that Jane Austen's work continues to arouse today shows the relevance of her thought and the influence she has had on subsequent literature. Her life has also been portrayed in film with the movie Becoming Jane (2007)
