Persuasion : authoritative text, backgrounds and contexts, criticism

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
