| Abstract | "This Norton critical edition includes the text of Persuasion (dated 1818, but likely issued in late 1817), accompanied by Rae Greiner's revised and expanded explanatory footnotes; the two canceled chapters that comprise the novel's original ending; a rich selection of background material--all but one item new to the third edition--centering on the British navy, slavery, and colonialism, as well as letters from Jane Austen and writings about Persuasion's initial reception; nine critical essays--all new to the third edition--focused on the novel's overt and more subtle themes; a chronology of Austen's life and work and a selected bibliography."--Back cover. |
