Among Jane Austen’s masterpieces,Persuasion, published after her death in 1817, is perhaps the richest in shadows and intimations of darkness. This novel reveals how deeply the author’s social comedy was rooted in her sense of life’s painful realities, and the success of her protagonists in coming to terms with these realities is all the more moving and exhilarating for it.An alternative cover edition for this ISBN can be foundhere.

Jane Austen was born in Steventon rectory on 16 December 1775. Her family later moved to Bath, then to Southampton and finally to Chawton in Hampshire. She began writing Pride and Prejudice when she was twenty-two years old. It was originally called First Impressions and was initially rejected by the publishers and only published in 1813 after much revision. She published four of her novels in her lifetime, Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1816). Jane Austen died on 18th July 1817. Northanger Abbey and Persuasion were both published posthumously in 1818.
