Sense and Sensibility
is Austen's first published novel and the one now most scrutinized by
historicist and feminist scholars, who offer new, complex readings of
the work. The text is that of the 1813 Second Edition (the origins of
which can be traced back to 1795). The text is fully annotated and is
accompanied by a map of nineteenth-century England. "Contexts" explores
the personal and social issues that loom large in Austen's novel:
sense, sensibility, self-control, judgment, romantic attachments,
family, and inheritance.
