Sense and Sensibility is a novel by Jane Austen. It was her first novel, and was published in 1811. The novel is mostly about two sisters, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, and their life and loves. The story takes place in southern England in the 1790s.
Austen paid to have the book published. The publisher got a commission on sales.[1] She made a profit of £140 (almost £5,000 in 2008 currency) on the first edition,[1] which sold all 750 printed copies by July 1813. A second edition was advertised in October 1813.
