{"product_id":"persuasion-15","title":"Persuasion","description":"A powerful portrait of grief triumphantly overcome, Persuasion is Austen''s most passionate work: more than any previous novel, it concentrates on the intense inner life of the heroine. It opens with Anne Elliot lamenting lost love in a painful reversal of the courtship novel; it then transforms into a rapturous romantic comedy. Against a dysfunctional gentry family corroded by snobbishness, the novel pits professional self-made naval men marked by energy and domestic virtues: the heroine''s future lies with them rather than with the landed class into which she was born. Persuasion is the only Austen novel that ends with the heroine lacking a settled home. Uniquely in Austen''s oeuvre, an earlier part of the text survives. This edition includes a transcript, allowing readers to glimpse Austen''s creative process. Prefaces and explanatory endnotes supplied by Janet Todd illuminate the cultural, historical and literary context, bringing Jane Austen''s world to life.","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51455967101275,"sku":"9781009432771","price":29.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/suomalainen-test.myshopify.com\/products\/persuasion-15","provider":"Suomalainen Test","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
