Brought to you by Penguin. This Penguin Classic is performed by Erin Doherty. Star of Call The Midwife, Erin will play Princess Anne in Series 3 of The Crown. This definitive recording includes an Introduction by Gillian Beer. At twenty-seven, Anne Elliot is no longer young and has few romantic prospects. Eight years earlier, she had been persuaded by her friend Lady Russell to break off her engagement to Frederick Wentworth, a handsome naval captain with neither fortune nor rank. What happens when they encounter each other again is movingly told in Jane Austen's last completed novel. Set in the fashionable societies of Lyme Regis and Bath, Persuasion is a brilliant satire of vanity and pretension, but, above all, it is a love story tinged with the heartache of missed opportunities.(c) 1818, Jane Austen (P) 2019 Penguin Audio

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Jane Austen

Uma das maiores referências da literatura inglesa, Jane Austen (1775-1817) marcou a passagem do Neoclassicismo para o Romantismo. Aos 15 anos escreveu o seu primeiro romance, publicado postumamente em 1922.
Na sua produção literária, distinguem-se habitualmente dois grandes momentos de criação. O primeiro, entre meados da década de 1790, corresponde à escrita das primeiras versões de Sensibilidade e Bom Senso – então intitulada Elinor and Marianne –, de Orgulho e Preconceito – originalmente First Impressions – e de Northanger Abbey – inicialmente chamada Susan. O segundo, já no período de maturidade em Chawton, começa com a revisão e publicação desses primeiros romances e prossegue com a escrita de Mansfield Park, Emma e Persuasão, o seu último romance completo.
Estas obras representam apenas uma parte das cerca de 35 obras e textos de Jane Austen, entre romances, novelas breves, juvenilia, sátiras e fragmentos inacabados.
