PERSUASION | FREE PDF BOOK
Persuasion is the last novel fully completed by Jane Austin. It was published in late 1817, six months after her death.
The story concerns Ann Elliot, a 27-year-old English woman whose family is moving to lower their expenses and get out of debt. They rent their home to the admiral and his wife. The woman's brother, Navy Captain Frederick Wentworth, became engaged to Anne in 1806, and now they meet again, single and unmarried, after having been in contact for no more than seven years. This sets the scene for many humorous encounters as well as an opportunity that is well considered for Anne's love and marriage in "Her Second Blossom."The novel was well received in the early 19th century. Greater fame came later in the century, continued in the 20th century, and up to the 21st century. Since then much scientific debate has been published about Austen's work. Ann Elliott is notable for Austen's heroines because of her relative maturity. Because Persuasion is the last novel completed in Austen, it is accepted as the most widely written novel in adulthood and shows a refinement of the literary concept that indicates a woman approaching forty. Unlike sensation and sensitivity and pride and prejudice, persuasion was not rewritten from earlier draft novels that Austen originally started before 1800. Its use of free indirect discourse in the story was until 1816 full testimony.[post_ads]

- ##book## Excerpt from the book
- They must retrench; that did not admit of a doubt. But she was very anxious to have it done with the least possible pain to him and Elizabeth. She drew up plans of economy, she made exact calculations, and she did what nobody else thought of doing: she consulted Anne, who never seemed considered by the others as having any interest in the question. She consulted, and in a degree was influenced by her in marking out the scheme of retrenchment which was at last submitted to Sir Walter. Every emendation of Anne's had been on the side of honesty against importance. She wanted more vigorous measures, a more complete reformation, a quicker release from debt, a much higher tone of indifference for everything but justice and equity.

- JANE AUSTEN
- (December 16, 1775 - July 18, 1817) was an English writer best known for her six great novels, The Sailors, Criticizing and Waking the Gentiles British Landing in the late 18th century. Austin's plots often examine women's dependence on marriage in pursuit of positive social status and economic security. Her works criticize the sensitivity of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the shift to 19th-century literary realism.
Her use of irony bites, along with her realism, humor and social commentary. Win it for a long time among critics, scholars and popular audiences alike.
With the publications of Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1816), she achieved success as a published author. She wrote two other novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, both of which were subsequently published in 1818, and began another, eventually titled Sanditon, but died before its completion. She also left behind three volumes of handwritten youth manuscripts, a short epistolic novel by Lady Susan, and another unfinished novel, Watson. Her six full-length novels have hardly gone out of print, though they were published anonymously, bringing her moderate success and little fame during her lifetime.
A significant transition to her good name after Reputation occurred in 1833, when her novels were republished in Richard Bentley's standard series, published by Ferdinand Pickering, and sold as a set. They gradually gained more acclaim and popular readership. In 1869, fifty-two years after her death, her niece published a compelling version of Jane Austin's memoir of her writing career and her allegedly uneventful life to an enthusiastic audience.Austin inspired many critical articles and literary anthologies. Her novels have inspired many films, from Pride and Prejudice of the 1940s to more recent productions such as Sense and Sense (1995), Emma (1996), Mansfield Park (1999), Pride and Prejudice (2005), Love and Friendship (2016), and - Her mother. (2020).
