Introduction and Notes by Elaine Jordan, Reader in Literature,
University of Essex. What does persuasion mean - a firm belief, or
the action of persuading someone to think something else? Anne
Elliot is one of Austen's quietest heroines, but also one of the
strongest and the most open to change. She lives at the time of the
Napoleonic wars, a time of accident, adventure, the making of new
fortunes and alliances. A woman of no importance, she manoeuvres in
her restricted circumstances as her long-time love Captain
Wentworth did in the wars. Even though she is nearly thirty, well
past the sell-by bloom of youth, Austen makes her win out for
herself and for others like herself, in a regenerated society.
