Persuasion - Wordsworth Classics - Jane Austen
What does persuasion mean - a firm belief, or the action of persuading someone to think something else? She lives at the time of the Napoleonic wars, a time of accident, adventure, the making of new fortunes and alliances.A woman of no importance, she manoeuvres in her restricted circumstances as her long-time love Captain Wentworth did in the wars.Even though she is nearly thirty, well past the sell-by bloom of youth, Austen makes her win out for herself and for others like herself, in a regenerated society. Anne Elliot is one of Austen's quietest heroines, but also one of the strongest and the most open to change.
