Persuasion is Jane Austen's last completed novel. The novel tells the story of Anne Elliot, a young woman who is persuaded to break off her engagement with Frederick Wentworth, a naval officer, due to his lack of fortune and social standing.
Eight years later, when Wentworth returns as a successful captain, Anne finds herself still emotionally tied to him despite having been pressured to conform to societal expectations. The narrative explores themes of love, regret, the impact of social class, and the importance of second chances.
Austen's signature wit and keen observations of human behaviour shine through the novel. The story highlights Anne's internal struggles and her journey toward self-discovery, making it a poignant exploration of the complexities of relationships and the influence of societal norms on personal choices.
Persuasion is celebrated for its mature tone and depth, often regarded as one of Austen's most accomplished works, reflecting her insights into the human heart and the dynamics of love and persuasion.

Jane Austen

Jane Austen was born on December 16, 1775 at Steventon near Basingstoke, the seventh child of the rector of the parish. She lived with her family at Steventon until they moved to Bath when her father retired in 1801. After his death in 1805, she moved around with her mother; in 1809, they settled in Chawton, near Alton, Hampshire. Here she remained, except for a few visits to London, until in May 1817 she moved to Winchester to be near her doctor. There she died on July 18, 1817. As a girl Jane Austen wrote stories, including burlesques of popular romances. Her works were only published after much revision, four novels being published in her lifetime. These are Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma(1816). Two other novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, were published posthumously in 1818 with a biographical notice by her brother, Henry Austen, the first formal announcement of her authorship. Persuasion was written in a race against failing health in 1815-16. She also left two earlier compositions, a short epistolary novel, Lady Susan, and an unfinished novel, The Watsons. At the time of her death, she was working on a new novel, Sanditon, a fragmentary draft of which survives.
