''Sense and Sensibility'' is a novel by Jane Austen, and was her first published work when it appeared in 1811 under the pseudonym "A Lady". A work of romantic fiction, better known as a comedy of manners, ''Sense and Sensibility'' is set in southwest England, London and Kent between 1792 and 1797,〔Deirdre Le Fay, (2002) Jane Austen: The World of Her Novels, London: Frances Lincoln Limited, p.155. ISBN 0-7112-1677-0〕 and portrays the life and loves of the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne. The novel follows the young ladies to their new home, a meagre cottage on a distant relative's property, where they experience love, romance and heartbreak. ==Title== Jane Austen wrote the first draft of the novel in the form of a novel-in-letters (epistolary form) sometime around 1795 when she was about 19 years old, and gave it the title ''Elinor and Marianne''. She later changed the form to a narrative and the title to ''Sense and Sensibility''.〔Le Fay, D., Jane Austen: The World of Her Novels, p.154.〕 "Sense" in the book means good judgment or prudence, and "sensibility" means sensitivity or emotionality. "Sense" is identified with the character of Elinor, while "sensibility" is identified with the character of Marianne. By changing the title, Austen added "philosophical depth" to what began as a sketch of two characters.〔Harold Bloom, (2009) Bloom's Modern Critical Reviews: Jane Austen, New York: Infobase Publishing, p. 252. ISBN 978-1-60413-397-4〕 The title of the book, and that of her next published novel, ''Pride and Prejudice'' (1813), may be suggestive of political conflicts of the 1790s.〔Christopher John Murray, (2004) Encyclopedia of the Romantic Era: A-K, Taylor and Francis Books, Inc., Vol. 1: p. 41 ISBN 1-57958-361-X〕
