註釋
SENSE AND SENSIBILITY has always been one of the most loved of Jane Austen’s novels. Elinor and Marianne Dashwood are sisters, and each has to face disappointment and unhappiness because of desertion by the man she loves. Their contrasting reactions reflect the ‘sense’ of one sister, and the ‘sensibility’ of the other. This attractive and sensitive love story is enriched by the author’s gentle irony and her profound awareness of the subtleties human relationships.
