Persuasion: (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) Paperback - 2011
by Jane Austen; Juliette Wells (Editor); Introduction by Juliette Wells
Jane Austen's debut in our award-winning graphic-cover series.
Written during Jane Austen's race against failing health, Persuasion tells the story of Anne Elliot, a woman who-at twenty-seven-is no longer young and has few romantic prospects. Eight years ago, she was persuaded by her friend Lady Russell to break off her engagement to Frederick Wentworth, a handsome naval captain with neither fortune nor rank. When Anne and Frederick meet again, he has acquired both, but still feels the sting of her rejection. A brilliant satire of vanity and pretension, Austen's last completed novel is also a movingly told love story tinged with the heartache of missed opportunities.
