An Interpretation of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781662436338)

Sense and Sensibility begins with allusions to the Norman kings and quickly moves on to the

Plantagenets. The main characters are Edward Ferrars who represents Edward I and Elinor

Dashwood who represents Eleanor of Castile. Allusions to the Plantagenets end with Edward IV.

The thread is then picked up in Jane Austen's Mansfield Park with allusions to Henry VI,

Margaret of Anjou and the last Plantagenet Richard III. Like Mansfield Park, Sense and

Sensibility is made up of allusions to history, literature, and the Bible. However, unlike the author's previous book "An Interpretation of Jane Austen's Mansfield Park," which was necessarily lengthy, this interpretation of Sense and Sensibility is short and sweet. Enjoy!
