As has happened with many of history’s greatest writers, Jane Austen (16 December 1775 – 18 July 1817) did not earn the credit she was due until well after her death. Austen was an English novelist whose works of romantic fiction, set among the landed gentry, has earned her a place as one of the most widely read writers in English literature over the last 150 years.
Austen’s romantic fiction was an interesting genre that belied the fact her writing was laden with realism and a scathing critique on society and the role women played in it during her life. Her last published novel was Persuasion, which tells the story of Anne Elliot, who had fallen in love with a handsome young naval officer named Frederick Wentworth, who is intelligent and ambitious but poor. Elliot’s father, Sir Walter, and her sister, Elizabeth, are dissatisfied with Anne’s choice due to the young man’s low social status. The novel describes Anne meeting Wentworth again years later, and he has since become a wealthy wartime captain in the Royal Navy.
This edition of Persuasion is specially formatted with a Table of Contents, an original introduction, and dozens of images of Austen and the novel’s characters.
