The novel that invented the Austen heroine — and spent two hundred years being misread by its own title. Jane Austen published Sense and Sensibility in 1811, after more than fifteen years of revision. It was her first novel to appear in print, and it sold out its first edition in twenty months. It has never gone out of print. The title announces a binary that literary criticism has accepted ever since: Elinor is sense, Marianne is sensibility. Head and heart. Restraint and feeling. The rational sister and the romantic one. Two hundred years of readers have arrived at this novel expecting ...

Pride and Prejudice is a novel about intelligence operating inside a system designed to prevent its exercise. Elizabeth Bennet is the most perceptive person in every room she enters — and the room, being England in 1813, has ...
