"Give him
a book, and he will read all day long."
Introduction and Notes by Elaine Jordan,
Reader in Literature, University of Essex.
What
does persuasion mean - a firm belief, or the action of persuading someone to
think something else? Anne Elliot is one of Austen's quietest heroines, but
also one of the strongest and the most open to change. She lives at the time of
the Napoleonic wars, a time of accident, adventure, the making of new fortunes
and alliances.
A
woman of no importance, she manoeuvres in her restricted circumstances as her
long-time love Captain Wentworth did in the wars. Even though she is nearly
thirty, well past the sell-by bloom of youth, Austen makes her win out for
herself and for others like herself, in a regenerated society.
