Pride & Prejudice:This book, which opens with one of the most famous sentences in English Literature, is an ironic novel of manners. In it the garrulous Mrs Bennet has only one aim - that of finding a good match for each of her five daughters. With its wit, social precision and irresistible heroine, Pride & Prejudice remains one of the most popular novels in the English language.Sense & SensibilityThis was Jane Austen's first published work, meticulously constructed and sparkling with her wit. Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing, but unsuitable John Willoughby she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Meanwhile Elinor, always sensitive to social convention, is struggling to conceal her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her. Through their parallel experiences of love- and its threatened loss - the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love.
