Sense and Sensibility
          Unfairly deprived of their family inheritance by the grasping Mrs John Dashwood and her husband, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood and theur mother find themselves in greatly reduced circumstances. 
          Compelled to leave Norland in Sussex for Barton Cottage in Devonshire, the two sisters are soon accepted into their new society. Marianne, whose sweet radiance and open nature charm the roguish John Willoughby, is soon deeply in love. Elinor, whose disposition is more cautious and considered, who carefully conceals her emotions, is suffering the loss of Edward Ferrars whom she has left behind. 
          Despite their very different personalities, both sisters experience great sorrows in their affairs of the heart: Marianne demostrably wretched and Elinor allowing no one to see her private heartache. It is, however, the qualities common to them both – discernment, constancy and integrity in the face of the feckleness of fathers – that allow them entry into a new life of peace and contentment. 

Pride and Prejudice
          'It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.’ Thus memorably begins Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, one of the world’s most popular novels. Pride and Prejudice—Austen’s own 'darling child’—tells the story of fiercely independent Elizabeth Bennet, one of five sisters who must marry rich, as she confounds the arrogant, wealthy Mr. Darcy. What ensues is one of the most delightful and engrossingly readable courtships known to literature, written by a precocious Austen when she was just twenty-one years old. 
          Humorous and profound, and filled with highly entertaining dialogue, this witty comedy of manners dips and turns through drawing-rooms and plots to reach an immensely satisfying finale. In the words of Eudora Welty, Pride and Prejudice is as 'irresistible and as nearly flawless as any fiction could be.’ 

Emma
          Emma Woodhouse, a clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and a happy disposition, thinks a little too highly of herself, and entertains herself by meddling in the affairs of others. The results are not always to her liking. "Emma" is perhaps Jane Austen’s most accomplished novel. In describing the mischievous schemes and eventual humbling of Miss Woodhouse, the author loses no opportunity to poke ironic fun at the society and social mores of the day.
