Sense and Sensibility


Which one best defines you? I think I am a healthy balance of both; Jane A would have no doubt admired me greatly!

We will begin by viewing the 1995 film version (directed by Ang Lee) to jog your memory about the events in the novel. Watch out for inaccuracies because these will undo you when it comes to writing about the novel in the weeks to come.

There are lots of resources on the net, not the least of which are listed right here:

Gradesaver
Bookrags
PinkMonkey
Bibliomania

Don't worry so much about the chapter summaries; concentrate on the commentaries and background notes. If you find any other good sites, please let me know.


Read these, make notes and start working on your close analysis of the text itself.

Like Elinor, you are now "at liberty to think and be wretched." p129
