The New Sense and Sensibility Student Guide

By Christopher Peter Grey

Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility, her first major work to be published, is a fascinating, sometimes disappointing novel, containing numerous instances of the author's genius with dialogue and social observation, yet notable as much for its internal flaws as its brilliant, polished surfaces. The story is both quick-witted and slow-moving, adventurous and conservative, fluid and ponderous - and these contradictions can often confound a student reader, reducing narrative speed from a gallop to a crawl. The New Sense and Sensibility Student Guide offers a fesh perspective on the book, breaking it down by character, location, and action, followed by an in-depth analysis of the text by chapter, concentrating on the narrative and its underlying meanings and mysteries, which are easy to miss in a superficial read. Used in conjunction with the original work, The New Sense and Sensibility Student Guide will give the A-Level and Undergraduate student a richer, fuller understanding and appreciation of this important book.
