Description
Persuasion crowns Jane Austen's remarkable career with this richly illustrated and annotated edition. Published posthumously in 1817, it is her most passionate and introspective love story.
This edition brings Austen's last completed novel to life with previously unmatched vitality, featuring running commentary on the text alongside color illustrations that bring characters, locations, clothing, and carriages to life. The Introduction by distinguished scholar Robert Morrison provides a nuanced examination of the broken engagement between Anne Elliot and Frederick Wentworth.
Specialists, Janeites, and first-time readers alike will treasure this annotated edition, which does justice to the elegance and depth of Austen's timeless story of loneliness, missed opportunities, and abiding love.
