Convinced that “3 or 4 families in a country village is the very thing to work upon,” Austen created a brilliant tragicomedy of flirtation and folly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGenteel dinner parties at a stately manor and romantic walks through luxuriant Devonshire draw two attractive sisters into the manipulations of landed gentry determined to marry well. But neither sense nor sensibility can guarantee happiness for either.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe daughter of a clergyman and the seventh of eight children, Jane Austen was born on December the 16th, 1775 at the village parsonage of Steventon in Hampshire, England. Like the five Bennet sisters in Pride and Prejudice, she spent her young womanhood among her family.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJane began to write early for her own and for her family’s amusement, and struggled to be published—as woman authors were not yet accepted. She was the first woman to be published under her own name.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHer first real novel, Sense and Sensibility, was written before she was twenty, but was rejected by a publisher, revised several times and finally published when she was thirty-six. Pride and Prejudice, written at twenty-one under the title First Impressions was also rejected, rewritten, and finally published when Jane was thirty-eight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwo years later came the publication of Emma, often considered her finest novel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThree more novels, Northanger Abbey—an early satire on the Gothic novel—Persuasion, and Mansfield Park, were not published until after her death.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor CD Player\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blackstone Audiobooks","offers":[{"title":"Used In Box","offer_id":67915552096534,"sku":"138884","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0377\/1710\/files\/20261106184213255ba54609f89c.jpg?v=1794019814","url":"https:\/\/www.neverdiemedia.com\/products\/sense-and-sensibility-unabridged-10-disc-set","provider":"NeverDieMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
