Dutch Gevoel en verstand Produced by Branko Collin, Jeroen Hellingman, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "Gevoel en Verstand" by Jane Austen is a novel written in the early 19th century. The story revolves around the Dashwood family, particularly the lives and challenges faced by the three sisters—Elinor, Marianne, and Margaret—as they navigate love, loss, and societal expectations after the death of their father. The novel explores contrasting temperaments, particularly the rationality of Elinor and the emotionality of Marianne, as they respond to their changing fortunes. The opening of the novel introduces the Dashwood family, detailing their background, the inheritance complications faced after the death of Mr. Dashwood, and the subsequent move from their ancestral home, Norland Park, to a more modest residence in Devonshire. Elinor emerges as a stabilizing force with her sensible and logical nature, while Marianne’s passionate disposition and romantic ideals create tension. Their new living arrangements at Barton Cottage, along with their interactions with new acquaintances including Sir John Middleton and Colonel Brandon, set the stage for exploring their relationships and the choices they must make in the face of various social pressures.
