Description

This elegantly designed hardcover edition of Jane Austen's Persuasion offers a portable tale of love, loss, and redemption and a stirring critique of the rigid social barriers of Regency-era Britain.

Published after Jane Austen's death in 1817, Persuasion tells the story of twenty-seven-year-old Anne Elliot, who is resigned to an unhappy fate and forced to move with her family to humbler lodgings when an old, lost love reenters her life.

The handsome young naval officer, whose marriage proposal she was persuaded to reject seven years prior, has moved up in the world, and now she has a second chance at love. Presenting a heroine who is older and wiser than those in her other books, Jane Austen's final novel is now available in this beautiful collector's edition.

Essential volumes for the shelves of every classic literature lover, the Chartwell Classics series includes beautifully presented works and collections from some of the most important authors in literary history. Chartwell Classics are the editions of choice for the most discerning literature buffs.

About the Author

Jane Austen was born in 1775 at Steventon, Hampshire. She was the seventh child of the local rector, and her life, by modern standards, was uneventful. In 1801, she moved with her parents to Bath but returned to Hampshire when her father died, settling in the village of Chawton. She remained there until 1817, when she moved to Winchester to be within easy reach of her doctor. She died that year, at age forty-one, and is buried in Winchester Cathedral, which also contains a plaque in honor of her memory. Four of her novels were published anonymously in her lifetime; two more, one of which was Persuasion, appeared posthumously.
