Sense and Sensibility

Sense and Sensibility is a novel by Jane Austen, and was her first published work when it appeared in 1811 under the pseudonym "A Lady". A work of romantic fiction, better known as a comedy of manners, Sense and Sensibility is set in southwest England, London and Kent. It  portrays the life and loves of the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne. The novel follows the young ladies to their new home, a meagre cottage on a distant relative's property, where they experience love, romance and heartbreak.

World of Jane Austen is very limited. But then even her novels remain favourite to many readers. One such novel is Sense and Sensibility- mainly story of a two sister named Elinor and Marriane and third one  is Margaret who along with mother loses their everything because of death her father, and becomes homeless overnight.

  Jane Austen gave it the title Elinor and Marianne. She later changed the form to a narrative and the title to Sense and Sensibility.

"Sense" in the book means good judgment or prudence, and "sensibility" means sensitivity or emotionality. "Sense" is identified with the character of Elinor, while "sensibility" is identified with the character of Marianne. By changing the title, Austen added "philosophical depth" to what began as a sketch of two characters.

Then the novel revolves around Elinor and Marianne's relationship with other man.
