A Man of Contradictions: A Life of A. L. Rowse
Details: Unabridged
ISBN: 073668381X
Category: Arts, Entertainment, Celebrity Bios, Bios, Memoirs, Artists, Writers, Musicians, Celebrities
Keywords: A Life of A. L. Rowse, manners, morals, author, AL Rowse, Man, Contradictions, Life, Rowse
Author: Richard Ollard
Publisher: Books on Tape
Length: 11 hours and 42 min.

Description
A.L. Rowse, who died in 1997, was the author of a vast number of books, all of them readable and most of them fiercely arrayed against what he considered to be declining standards of manners, morals, and politics. He was more than a mere curmudgeon, though. His background was extraordinary: from a working-class family, he got a scholarship to Oxford, and from there was elected to All Souls College, the most exclusive of all faculties. He was a Shakespearean scholar who identified the Dark Lady of the sonnets, a historian of vast scope, and a biographer and memoirist, most notably of his beloved Cornwall. He never shied from controversy, and tore great chunks out of other writers in print. In short, Rowse led a fascinating life that bears reading about.

Sense and Sensibility
Details: Unabridged
ISBN: 0786198494
Category: Classics, Fiction, Classic British Literature
Keywords: manners, romance, Sense, Sensibility
Author: Jane Austen
Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks
Length: 11 hours and 37 min.

Description
The first of Jane Austen's novels to be published, Sense and Sensibility marked the debut of England's primary novelist of manners. Convinced that "three or four families in a country village is the very thing to work upon", Austen created a brilliant tragicomedy of flirtation and folly. Genteel dinner parties at a stately manor and romantic walks through luxuriant Devonshire draw two attractive sisters into the manipulations of landed gentry determined to marry well. But neither sense nor sensibility can guarantee happiness for either.

Sense and Sensibility
Details: Unabridged
Category: Classics, Classic British Literature, Fiction, Education, Students, K-12 Educators, Grade 9-12, Parents, Family, College Students, Grade 9-12 Students, High School
Keywords: manners, Dashwood, Sense, Sensibility
Author: Jane Austen
Publisher: Jimcin Recordings
Length: 12 hours and 47 min.

Description
Rule by head or rule by heart? Elinor Dashwood is a great believer in "sense, " while her exuberant younger sister Marianne feels keenly that only "sensibility" (what today we'd call passion) serves to guide the heart. Through vicissitudes and, in the case of Marianne, outright betrayal by her lover, these two women learn the value in the other's outlook, and thereby prepare themselves for later domestic bliss that is the hallmark resolution of Jane Austen's novels.
