Title page, first edition of S&S (1811). Illustrations for a 1907-08 edition, by C. E. Brock. Another edition, whose introduction, by Laura Engel, I recommend.
A searchable electronic text for S&S: your eyes will pop out if you try reading it all online (which is why you had to buy the book) but you do cool things by searching for phrases & words. Jack Lynch's online edition of Fantomina.
Book trailer for "Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters." More Sea Monsters. S&S and something else. Something else.
Not monsters so much as a set of constraints which dictate the life course. Like this.
"The economic basis of society." Country society.
Some Austen plots could work almost anywhere, especially in high school. Why is that and what gets lost?
What was sensibility? More on sentiment and sensibility.
Elinor: like a visual artist, or like a writer. Marianne: a musician; a terrible actor.
Sensibility, feeling and the French Revolution" ("Liberty Leading the People" by Delacroix)
Limited choices. Men can go here. Women have small dating pools.
Who courts whom, who gets married, at what age?
Should you look for the One? Or round up, as per Dan Savage?
Who gets to have a body? Who feels what through the body? Who conceals and who reveals what feeling? Who cares for whom?
Take the analogy seriously. Also, trolls.
The places in S&S (nonacademic). Disapproval. D.W. Harding and "Regulated Hatred." A vast trove of Austen-related images and nonacademic (but articulate) essays.
