"Always one of Austen's most fascinating novels, Persuasion is made eminently teachable and readable with this wonderful edition." -- Catherine Ingrassia, Virginia Commonwealth University

Back Jacket

For her last novel's plot, Austen returns to the tensions of inheritance; but the once satisfactory solution--security on a landed estate--no longer applies. Here, Anne, the unappreciated middle daughter of the Elliots, has new choices to make, between the customs and traditions in which she was brought up and the excitement of the unknown.
