Description | Content |
Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Persuasion is Jane Austen's last completed novel, published posthumously. A much more contained, simple story than some of her more popular novels, it has as its heroine Anne Elliot, a 27-year-old spinster. Keenly intelligent, sweet, and selfless, Anne was considered very pretty in her youth and fell deeply in love with a young naval officer, Frederick Wentworth, seven years before the novel began. However, she was influenced by family friend Lady Russell to reconsider her engagement with Wentworth on the grounds of imprudence -- Wentworth being merely an ambitious young stripling with no social status, no money and no sure prospects. Anne was thus persuaded to break it off. |
