    <![CDATA[Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. 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.<br/><br/>New chronology and further reading; Tony Tanner's original introduction reinstated. <br/><br/> Edited with an introduction by Ros Ballaster.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Hmmm, how to critique one of the most revered writers of romance literature?  Now, before all of your Jane-ites get on my case for being unromantic or whatever, let me say only that unfortuantely, I read &quot;Persuasion,&quot; Austen's last novel, and found it to be one of the best books I've ever ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2873395">more...</a>]]></body>
