Generally conceded to be Jane Austen's best novels. Pride andPrejudice and Sense and Sensibility are issued together in a single volume on the insistence of an ever-growing number of enthusiasts for the work of this chronicler of a more quiet time than our own. Without rival as a recorder of the everyday trivia of provincial life in England at the beginning of the nineteenth century, Jane Austen remains even today the engrossing story-teller who brought drama and truth and life to these great works of imagination.
