Sense And Sensibility (Piccadilly Classics) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780941599771)

Jane Austin (1774-1817) is regarded one of the most beloved writers in English literature. From 1811 to 1815 with the release of Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), and Emma (1815) she achieved her greatest success as a published writer. She wrote two additional novels Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, both published after her death in 1817. As a young girl Austen began writing poems, stories, and plays for her own and her family's amusement. Later she compiled 29 of these early works into three bound notebooks, now referred to as the Juvenilia. Austen's clever ability to combine attraction between the sexes with conflict and humor created some of our most enduring romantic comedies. These timeless classics have become increasingly popular. Sequels, prequels, and adaptations of almost every sort have been based on her novels, including adaptations to film and television. Many of her stories have been modernized such as the move Clueless (1995), an updated version of Emma, which spawned its own television series.
