Sobre aquest llibre
In her seminal work, "Sense and Sensibility," Jane Austen masterfully explores the intricate interplay of reason and emotion as embodied by the contrasting sisters, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood. The novel is characterized by Austen's signature wit, keen social observation, and incisive commentary on the constraints of 19th-century English society, particularly in matters of love and financial security. Through carefully crafted dialogue and vivid characterization, Austen constructs a narrative that critiques societal norms while evoking a deep understanding of human relationships and moral dilemmas. Jane Austen, known for her sharp intellect and astute observations of her contemporaries, drew inspiration from her experiences within the landed gentry and the complexities of social hierarchies. Her life in close-knit rural communities, along with her extensive reading of contemporary literature, shaped her narrative voice and thematic preoccupations. "Sense and Sensibility," published in 1811, serves as a poignant reflection of her reflections on gender dynamics, agency, and the pursuit of happiness in a restrictive society. This novel is essential reading for anyone interested in romantic literature and social commentary. Austen's nuanced exploration of rationality and passion offers enduring insights into the tensions of personal fulfillment versus societal expectation. "Sense and Sensibility" remains a timeless classic, inviting readers to engage with its multidimensional characters and their transformative journeys.
Sobre l'autor
Jane Austen (1775–1817) remains one of the most revered English novelists, renowned for her keen social commentary and skill in portraying the subtleties of moral and psychological development among her characters. Born in Steventon, Hampshire, into a close-knit family of eight children, Austen started writing in earnest in her teenage years. She received an education that was unusual for women of her time and was greatly encouraged by her family. 'Sense and Sensibility,' her first published work, appeared anonymously in 1811, as was customary for female authors at the time. The novel details the lives and loves of the Dashwood sisters and is celebrated for its wit and its exploration of the tension between propriety and emotionality. Austen's technique of indirect speech, or 'free indirect discourse,' allowed her to probe her characters' consciousness uniquely, merging her narrative voice with their thoughts to reveal their moral dilemmas and their growth. This innovative literary style has led to her being considered a pioneer of the modern novel. Austen penned other acclaimed works, such as 'Pride and Prejudice' and 'Emma,' all characterized by their irony, humor, and insightful critique of the British landed gentry at the turn of the 19th century. Her novels continue to be widely read and adapted, securing her legacy as an icon of English literature.
