Persuasion, published posthumously in 1818, is Jane Austen's last novel. Like the earlier works it is a tale of love and marriage, told with the irony, insight, and same evaluation of human conduct which sets her writing apart. But the starting point is a new one, the tone a little more sombre. Anne Elliot and Captain Wentworth have met and separated years before. Their reunion forces a recognition of the false values that drove them apart. The characters who embody these values are the objects of some of the most withering satire that Jane Austen ever wrote. This edition also includes J.E. Austen-Leigh's valuable work, A memoir of Jane Austen.
