La pongo al par de Shakespeare, Cervantes y Henry Fielding. Henry James
En Sentido y sensibilidad, Jane Austen explora con sutileza e irona las opciones de la mujer en una sociedad rgida, donde el xito o el fracaso dependen de la eleccin del marido. La historia se centra en dos hermanas, Elinor y Marianne, cuyas personalidades antagnicas ejemplifican dos posibles respuestas femeninas ante la hipocresa dominante: el sentido comn y la sensibilidad . Sin embargo, tanto un camino como el otro entraan sus peligros. Esta edicin incorpora una cronologa detallada y recupera la introduccin de la edicin original de Penguin Clsicos a cargo de Tony Tanner, uno de los mayores especialistas en la obra de Jane Austen, a cuyo estudio dedic gran parte de su carrera. Fue catedrtico de literatura inglesa y norteamericana en la Universidad de Cambridge.
Venga, entre amigos no hay secretos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONJane Austen's first published work, meticulously constructed and sparkling with her unique wit Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Meanwhile Elinor, always sensitive to social convention, is struggling to conceal her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her. Through their parallel experience of love - and its threatened loss - the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love. This edition also includes explanatory notes and textual variants between first and second edition.
