<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>Persuasion </i>is now probably the favourite Austen book after <i>Pride and Prejudice</i>. It tells the story of a life that might have been wasted, but is redeemed by love. It is a story by anyone who believes in second chances. While <i>Pride and Prejudice</i> was written when Austen was a young, marriageable woman, <i>Persuasion</i> was written when she was in her forties, and it features a heroine who, at twenty-seven, could in those days be destined, like Austen herself, to life as a spinster. As John Wiltshire, one of the best modern critics of Austen shows in this guide, the atmosphere of the two books is quite different, like the social world they depict. <i>Persuasion</i> is a love story for adults.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Professor <b>John Wiltshire </b>is Emeritus Professor of English at La Trobe University, Australia.
