Description

Persuasion was the last novel completed by Jane Austen and was first published posthumously in December, 1817.

The story represents an interesting configuration of Austen's characteristic narrative patterns. The heroine, Anne Eliot, is something of an old maid-she is twenty-seven years old, still single and is considered by family and friends to have lost her youthful beauty. Several years earlier, her engagement to Captain Frederick Wentworth had been broken off, due to the insistence of her family that the Captain lacked the wealth and status needed in a suitable husband.

Due to the improvidence of Anne's snobbish father, Sir Walter Elliot, it becomes necessary to rent out the family estate at Kellynch Hall. The Elliots take up residence in Bath. Anne and Frederick meet again, and Anne is faced with a difficult choice between suitors: should she align herself with the honest and upright but socially awkward Frederick Wentworth? Or with her charming, wealthy, and devious cousin, William Elliot?
