Description:
Athlone Press, 1985, 1985. Hardcover. New/Fine. Octavo, hardcover, as new in fine yellow and burgundy dj. Persuasion is Jane Austen's last completed novel. She began it soon after she had finished Emma. She died, aged 41, in 1817; Persuasion was published in December that year (but dated 1818). Persuasion is linked to Northanger Abbey not only by the fact that the two books were originally bound up in one volume and published together, but also because both stories are set partly in Bath. Besides the theme of persuasion, the novel evokes other topics, such as the Royal Navy, in which two of Jane Austen's brothers ultimately rose to the rank of admiral. As in Northanger Abbey, the superficial social life of Bath-well known to Austen, who spent several relatively unhappy and unproductive years there-is portrayed extensively and serves as a setting for the second half of the book. Foreword by Lord Cecil.
