Sense and Sensibility was first adapted for television in 1985. This version starred Irene Richards and Tracey Childs.

A movie adaptation was produced in 1995 by Columbia/Tri Star Studios and directed by Ang Lee. The film starred Emma Thompson (who also wrote the Oscar-winning screenplay), Hugh Grant, and Kate Winslet.

Several abridged audio recordings of the novel have been produced, most notably a version read by Kate Winslet, produced by Highbridge.

An unabridged audio version, 900 minutes long and performed by Jill Masters, is available from Blackstone Audiobooks.
