Jane Austen's Last Great Work

Sir Walter Elliot, lives with his daughters Elizabeth and Anne. His third daughter is married to Charles Musgrove of nearby Uppercross Hall, the heir to a respected local squire.

After Lady Elliot's death fourteen years ago, the Elliots have accumulated debt steadily because of their lavishly overspending father and now is in financial trouble, needing to reduce expenses. So they intend to rent their family estate, Kellynch Hall and the family will settle in Bath until finances improve, and to maintain a dignified lifestyle.

They soon find first-class tenants to rent their home; Admiral and Mrs. Croft are wealthy and well-mannered Navy people.

Mrs. Croft is the sister of the man whom Anne loves. Eight years back, she was betrothed to this naval officer, Captain Frederick Wentworth, but Lady Russell, her friend, persuaded her that Captain Wentworth was not a good and worthy match, and Anne called off the engagement. With the Crofts at Kellynch, Anne hopes to see Captain Wentworth again and...

All the suspense of the novel revolves around one question: Will Anne and Wentworth be reunited and get married?

Jane Austen's wonderful and brilliant skill for delicate observation on social custom, people, marriage, English manners, etc. is clearly felt in her last finished work, Persuasion.

As always she is witty and superbly sarcastic.

About the Author:

Jane Austen (16 December 1775 - 18 July 1817) was an English novelist who is world renowned and is known primarily for her six major novels which interpret, critique and comment upon the life of the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Her most highly praised novel during her lifetime was Pride and Prejudice, her second published novel. Austen's plots often explore the dependence of women on marriage in the pursuit of favorable social standing and economic security.

The author's major novels are rarely out of print today, although they were first published anonymously and brought her little fame and brief reviews during her lifetime. A significant transition in her posthumous reputation as an author occurred in 1869, fifty-two years after her death, when her nephew's publication of A Memoir of Jane Austen introduced her to a wider audience. Austen's most successful novel during her lifetime was Pride and Prejudice, which went through two editions at the time. Her third published novel was Mansfield Park, which (despite being largely overlooked by reviewers) was successful during her lifetime.

Between 1793 and 1795 Austen wrote Lady Susan, considered her most ambitious and sophisticated early novel.It is unlike Austen's other work; biographer Claire Tomalin describes the novella's heroine as a sexual predator who uses her intelligence and charm to manipulate, betray and abuse lovers, friends and family.

One of England's favorite and best authors, she is best known for her social commentary in novels.
