Synopsis
In Persuasion, her last novel, Jane Austen displays her finest awareness of the pressures of family expectation and of drawing-room society.
Anne Elliot has brought her misfortunes upon herself. Her mistaken decision to break her engagement with Captain Wentworth - to which she was persuaded by a dear friend of the family, Lady Russell - let worldly prudence outweigh love. Persuasion takes up the story over seven years later, with the reappearance of Wentworth, in what is Jane Austen's most mature, profound and delicate comedy of love and marriage.
