'She had been forced into prudence in her youth, she learned romance as she grew older - the natural sequel of an unnatural beginning.'Anne Elliot seems to have given up on present happiness and has resigned herself to living off her memories.  More than seven years earlier she complied with duty: persuaded to view the match as imprudent and improper, she broke off her engagement to a naval captain with neither fortune, ancestry, nor prospects. However, when peacetime arrives and brings the Navy home, and Anne encounters Captain Wentworth once more, she starts to believe in second chances.Persuasion celebrates romantic constancy in an era of turbulent change.  Written as the Napoleonic Wars were ending, the novel examines how a woman can at once remain faithful to her past and still move forward into the future.Find the eBook on VitalSource.FeaturesOne of Austen's five major novels in a superb new editionThe standard Chapman/Kinsley text in a newly set typeface gives a more attractive appearanceThe new introduction examines the novel in its historical moment in the aftermath of the Battle of WaterlooThe new notes are fuller and bring out Austen's extensive knowledge of the Navy and the novel's topicalityNew chronology and bibliography provide up-to-date resources for further readingAppendices on social rank, dancing, and the navy, and the deleted chapter that was the original ending of PersuasionNew to this EditionIntroduction by Deidre Shauna LynchExplanatory Notes by Deidre Shauna LynchFuller three-column chronologyExpanded and updated BibliographyAppendices on social rank, dancing, the navyABOUT THE SERIESFor over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.
