Sense and Sensibility
by Austen, Jane
Sense and Sensibility is a novel by the English novelist Jane Austen. Published in 1811, it was Austen's first published novel, which she wrote under the pseudonym "A Lady". The story revolves around Elinor and Marianne, two daughters of Mr. Dashwood by his second wife. They have a younger sister, Margaret, and an older half-brother named John. When their father dies, the family estate passes to John, and the Dashwood women are left in reduced circumstances.
First Edition Identification
The novel sold out its first print run of 750 copies in the middle of 1813, but it had a second print run later that year.
Other Collectible or Notable Editions
Sense and Sensibility was the first Austen title to be republished in England after her death. It was also the first illustrated Austen book, published in Richard Bentley's Standard Novels series of 1833.
