Persuasion

One of the greatest figures in English literature, Jane Austen (1775-1817) marked the transition from Neoclassicism to Romanticism. Even as a child, she wrote novels for her family, some of which were published in... Love and Friendship and Other Early Works (1922). In this author's literary production, two periods are considered: from 1796 to 1798, in which she wrote Sense and Sensibility (Sensitivity and Common Senseand Pride and Prejudice (Pride and Prejudice), published in 1811 and 1813, respectively; and from 1811 onwards, with the writing of Mansfield Park (1814), Emma (1816) and Persuasion (Persuasion, 1818).
