Jane Austen’s first published novel becomes a guided listening experience about sisters, money, reputation, and the social intelligence required to survive polite society.
Sense and Sensibility: The Sisters and Society Edition presents the complete public-domain text of Austen’s 1811 classic, centered on Elinor and Marianne Dashwood: two sisters with sharply different ways of feeling, judging, loving, and enduring disappointment. Around them, Austen builds a world where inheritance, courtship, family duty, letters, visits, gossip, and restraint shape nearly every possible choice.
This edition is designed for calm, attentive listening. The chapter titles frame the novel’s key themes: the Dashwood inheritance, women’s economic dependence, Regency manners, Austen’s comedy of selfishness, Elinor’s emotional discipline, Marianne’s intensity, and the difficult balance between sense and sensibility.
Ideal for Austen fans, book clubs, students, Regency romance listeners, and anyone drawn to classics about love, money, family pressure, reputation, and emotional intelligence.
