Sense and Sensibility
Jane Austen (1811)
Sense and Sensibility follows the Dashwood sisters after inheritance rules force them into a smaller life and a more uncertain future. Elinor’s restraint and Marianne’s intense feeling shape how each sister responds to secrecy, romantic disappointment, and family pressure. In LLCL, students can read the original or leveled version while studying character foils, social class, gender expectations, emotional control, and Austen’s early social comedy.
