Persuasion
(Jane Austen)
'All the privilege I claim for my own sex...is that of loving longest,when existence or when hope is gone'. Anne Elliot's heartfelt wordsstrike the keynote of Jane Austen's last completed novel. It features aheroine older and wiser than her predecessors in earlier books, and itstone is more intimate and sober as Jane Austen unfolds a simplelove-story. She described her heroine in a letter as 'almost too goodfor me': Anne Elliot's goodness is not of the cloying kind, but anunsentimental quality that, combined with stoicism and integrity,enables her to find happiness in love after seven years when it seemedshe had for ever put an end to such a prospect.
