Editorial Review of Sense and Sensibility (Barnes & Noble Classics)
Sense and Sensibility, by Jane Austen, is part of the Barnes & Noble Classics series, which offers quality editions at affordable prices to the student and the general reader, including new scholarship, thoughtful design, and pages of carefully crafted extras. Here are some of the remarkable features of Barnes & Noble Classics:
Jane Austen’s first published novel, Sense and Sensibility is a wonderfully entertaining tale of flirtation and folly that revolves around two starkly different sisters, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood. While Elinor is thoughtful, considerate, and calm, her younger sister is emotional and wildly romantic. Both are looking for a husband, but neither Elinor’s reason nor Marianne’s passion can lead them to perfect happiness—as Marianne falls for an unscrupulous rascal and Elinor becomes attached to a man who’s already engaged.
Startling secrets, unexpected twists, and heartless betrayals interrupt the marriage games that follow. Filled with satiric wit and subtle characterizations, Sense and Sensibility teaches that true love requires a balance of reason and emotion.
Laura Engel received her BA from Bryn Mawr College and her MA and PhD from Columbia University. She has taught in independent schools in New York city and is now a visiting assistant professor of English at Macalester College. Her previous publications include essays on the novelists A. S. Byatt and Edna O’Brien. Her forthcoming book is a biography of three eighteenth-century British actresses.
New introductions commissioned from today's top writers and scholars Biographies of the authors Chronologies of contemporary historical, biographical, and cultural events Footnotes and endnotes Selective discussions of imitations, parodies, poems, books, plays, paintings, operas, statuary, and films inspired by the work Comments by other famous authors Study questions to challenge the reader's viewpoints and expectations Bibliographies for further reading Indices & Glossaries, when appropriateAll editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest. Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influences—biographical, historical, and literary—to enrich each reader's understanding of these enduring works.

Customer Reviews of Sense and Sensibility (Barnes & Noble Classics)

Review Summary: A wonderful, affordable edition with added features
Review: I confess I own many editions of Jane Austen's works [individual and collected sets]. These Barnes and Noble editions are true value for money - in this instance, Sense and Sensibility is beautifully bound, with a cloth spine, and has a lovely portrait on the cover. The text is not too small unlike some other editions, it makes for comfortable reading. The book itself is sturdy, as it is in hardback, but not unwieldy - it fits nicely into my hands. Besides the main text of Austen's novel itself, it has added features - a brief chronology of the world of Jane Austen & Sense and Sensibility, an introduction, the main text, as well as useful endnotes, a list of adaptations of the novel [in both film and book format],comments, as well as a list of resources for further reading [biographies and letters of Austen] and criticisms. In all, a value buy.

Review Summary: a good story-- just not as good as others by Jane Austen
Review: I would rank this story #4 in pleasure of reading. #1 is Pride and Prejudice, #2 is Persuasion, and #3 is Northanger Abbey. Even my husband enjoyed and loved Pride and Prejudice and Persuasion as much as me.

Review Summary: Excellant
Review: I love all of Jane Austin's works. She captures real life in her day, and it still applies to my day.

Review Summary: Better than I thought....
Review: I ordered this version of P & P as I wanted a hard back to add to my few other hard back Jane A.'s novels. It arrived in a timely manner as well. In great condition. i was expecting the small print version like the others I had been given from Barnes and Noble and was so pleased to recieve a book of full size, hard back, quality paper and a decent size print. No need for glasses or squinting ---- just yet. A lovely addition. I'm not so thrilled about the art work, but then again I don't like any of the art work in the stories I have. It always ruins my character in my imagination. Happy Reading!!
