Description

“This edition firmly anchors the novel in its cultural moment, both highlighting the imperial history against which it was written and offering a robust sampling of its reception history. This new edition is rich, nuanced, and urgently needed.”

—Patricia Matthew, Montclair State University

“On the surface, Persuasion is a simple story of love, loss, and reunion, but the realities of early nineteenth-century life become poignantly clear in Jane Austen’s brilliant hands. Though never overtly political, as Norton’s Third Critical Edition of Persuasion demonstrates, Austen is surprisingly adept at treating global concerns and understanding the triumphs and tragedies of the turbulent changes that marked her world.”

—Rebecca Posusta, University of Colorado, Colorado Springs
About Jane Austen | Jessica Kulekjian
Jane Austen was born on December 16, 1775, in Steventon, Hampshire, in England. Her father, an Anglican clergyman, encouraged her literary pursuits from a young age and by her mid-twenties, Austen had drafted three novels. Following the success of Sense and Sensibility in 1811, she went on to publish Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), and Emma (1815). Northanger Abbey and Persuasion were published posthumously in 1818. Despite her fondness for marriage plots–all six of her novels end in weddings–Austen never married, living with her mother and sister in the years leading up to her death. She died on July 18, 1817, in the city of Winchester. Over two centuries later, Austen’s novels remain beloved classics, and she is considered one of the foremost writers in English literary history. Rae Greiner is associate professor of English at Indiana University. She is the author of Sympathetic Realism in Nineteenth-Century British Fiction and the forthcoming Stupidity after Enlightenment. She is also coeditor of Victorian Studies.
