Explained simply
Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility is a novel about the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne, whose family loses much of its wealth after their father dies. As they adjust to a more modest life, each faces questions of love, money and what society expects of women.
The story is set in early 19th-century England, when a woman’s security often depended on marriage and family connections. Elinor tends to weigh her feelings carefully, while Marianne is more openly romantic; their different approaches shape the novel’s exploration of reason, emotion and social change.
Austen’s novel has been adapted for film and television several times. The new version stars Daisy Edgar-Jones as Elinor and Esmé Creed-Miles as Marianne.
