Persuasion by Jane Austen is a title in the Harper Muse Classics: Painted Editions collection and is being released alongside Jane Eyre (Charlotte Brontë), Little Women (Louisa May Alcott), and The Mysterious Affair at Styles (Agatha Christie).

Jane Austen was born on December 16, 1775, at Steventon near Basingstoke, England, the seventh child of the rector of the parish. As a girl Austen wrote stories including burlesques of popular romances. During her lifetime, she anonymously published four novels, all considered literary classics: 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 1815-1816. She left behind several unpublished works including Lady Susan, a short epistolary novel, and two unfinished longer novels, The Watsons and Sanditon, a fragmentary draft of which still survives.
