Jane Austen's first published novel — issued anonymously, 'By a Lady' — arrives with all her powers already in place. Left with a small income and an unreliable supply of suitors, the Dashwood sisters embody its title: sensible Elinor, who guards every feeling, and passionate Marianne, who hides none. Money is discussed with perfect accuracy, feeling observed without mercy, and the comedy never spares the very characters we are meant to love. This edition presents the complete and unabridged novel, newly typeset and illustrated with 50 full-page color plates.
