Meanwhile Elinor, always sensitive to social convention, is struggling to conceal her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her. Through their parallel experience 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. This edition also includes explanatory notes and textual variants between first and second edition. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators. Review: A fun read - A wonderful read Review: Highly recommended - What a blast it was re-reading Sense and sensibility after more than 30 years. Jane Austen was never an assigned author in my high school or college classes, but I picked up Pride and Prejudice at a used book sale and loved it. Following that good experience, I read through S&S, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion. Somehow I missed out on Lady Susan, so I still have that to look forward to. Sense and sensibility was selected as my local book club's September pick, and the prevailing opinion was very positive with a definite desire to read at least one classic a year. Most of us had read it before and enjoyed the repeat. One of my favorite aspects of Austen's writing is the humor, which is so clever and timeless, and her observations about the human character are astute and still relevant two hundred years later. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #12,177 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #55 in Teen & Young Adult Classic Literature #427 in Classic Literature & Fiction #1,332 in Literary Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,077 Reviews | ## Images ![Sense and Sensibility (Penguin Classics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81+UPrVQ7cL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fun read *by E***Z on March 12, 2026* A wonderful read ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended *by R***E on September 11, 2025* What a blast it was re-reading Sense and sensibility after more than 30 years.

The introduction adds helpful context without spoiling anything, and the notes in the back are great for understanding references I might have missed. The binding feels solid and the paper quality is nice—it's held up well to rereading. Elinor and Marianne's story hits differently each time I revisit it, and this edition makes it easy to get lost in their world. If you're looking for a quality version of this classic, this one's a reliable choice. ## Frequently Bought Together - Sense and Sensibility (Penguin Classics) - Pride and Prejudice (Penguin Classics) - Persuasion (Penguin Classics) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/18861648-sense-and-sensibility-penguin-classics](https://www.desertcart.be/products/18861648-sense-and-sensibility-penguin-classics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
