Details:
Jane Austen’s Persuasion is considered by many to be her finest, most mature, and most introspective novel. Austen tells the story of Anne Elliot, who is dealing with the consequences of turning down an unsuitable offer of marriage because of family pressure. Although this is a darker novel than her others, Austen still uses wit and satire to skewer England’s social class system and those who care only for their position on the social ladder.
