4. Sense and Sensibility Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on
her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but

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 loveand
its threatened lossthe 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.

8. Mansfield Park Taken from the poverty of her parents' home,
Fanny Price is brought up with her rich cousins at Mansfield Park,
acutely aware of her humble rank and with only her cousin Edmund as
an ally. When Fanny's uncle is absent in Antigua, Mary Crawford and
her brother Henry arrive in the neighbourhood, bringing with them

influence and finds herself more isolated than ever.

10. Northanger Abbey The storys unlikely heroine is Catherine
Morland, a remarkably innocent seventeen-year-old woman from a
country parsonage. While spending a few weeks in Bath with a family
friend, Catherine meets and falls in love with Henry Tilney, who
invites her to visit his family estate, Northanger Abbey. Once
there, Catherine, a great reader of Gothic thrillers, lets the
shadowy atmosphere of the old mansion fill her mind with terrible
suspicions. What is the mystery surrounding the death of Henrys
mother? Is the family concealing a terrible secret within the
elegant rooms of the Abbey? Can she trust Henry, or is he part of
an evil conspiracy? Catherine finds dreadful portents in the most
prosaic events, until Henry persuades her to see the peril in
confusing life with art. Film and Television Adaptations:

11. Emma Beautiful, clever, rich - and single - Emma Woodhouse
is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love
or marriage. Nothing, however, delights her more than interfering
in the romantic lives of others. But when she ignores the warnings
of her good friend Mr Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable
match for her protegee Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon
unravel and have consequences that she never expected.

12. Persuasion Twenty-seven-year old Anne Elliot is Austen's
most adult heroine. Eight years before the story proper begins, she
is happily betrothed to a naval officer, Frederick Wentworth, but
she precipitously breaks off the engagement when persuaded by her
friend Lady Russell that such a match is unworthy. The breakup
produces in Anne a deep and long- lasting regret. When later
Wentworth returns from sea a rich and successful captain, he finds
Anne's family on the brink of financial ruin and his own sister a
tenant in Kellynch Hall, the Elliot estate. All the tension of the
novel revolves around one question: Will Anne and Wentworth be
reunited in their love?
