The Sense and Sensibility Collection - contains Austen''s first published novel, "Sense and Sensibility" (1811), "Mansfield Park" published in 1814, and "Emma" published in 1816. All three were published anonymously as befitted a young woman of her class.
1995 was a banner year for Jane Austen movie adaptations: Emma Thompson received the Academy Award for her screenplay of "Sense and Sensibility" starring Thompson, Hugh Grant and Kate Winslet and directed by "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon''s" Ang Lee. That same year saw two "Emma" movies -- "Emma" starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Jeremy Northam, and Amy Herckerling''s hilarious "Clueless" starring Alicia Silverstone and Brittany Murphy. In 1999, "Mansfield Park" was made into a movie starring Jonny Lee Miller and Frances O''Connor.
"Sense and Sensibility" is the story of the well-born but impoverished Dashwood sisters and their attempt to find true love. In "Mansfield Park" poor girl Fanny Price is taken into a distant relative''s home where she falls hard for young Edmund, who unfortunately has feelings for the shallow Mary Crawford. And "Emma" is the eponymous story of a wealthy, self-satisfied young woman who is determined to play matchmaker to everyone around her.
"Oh, Elinor, it is Willoughby, indeed it is!" and seemed almost ready
to throw herself into his arms, when Colonel Brandon appeared." Sense and Sensibility
Jane Austen
Considered the mother of the modern English novel, Jane Austen hardly ever left her house. The seventh child of a country rector, she was born in the tiny English village of Basingstoke in 1775 and, following a brief stint in Bath, the Austen family settled in the village of Chawton where Jane lived out the rest of her life. She died in 1817 at age 42 after contracting tuberculosis. Austen wrote about what she knew best - minor landed gentry in varying economic circumstances and struggling to maintain or enhance their social standing. While all her heroes and heroines were preoccupied with courtship and marriage, Austen herself never married.
