"Una satira brillante delle vanità ma anche una delle più romantiche storie d'amore di tutta la letteratura, scritta tra 1816 e 1817 e pubblicata postuma. “Ci sono una bellezza e un'ombra particolari in Persuasione. La scrittrice sta cominciando a scoprire che il mondo è più grande, più misterioso, più romantico di quanto aveva creduto” - Virginia Woolf."

Catherine’s favorite genre to read is Gothic fiction, a romanticized, dark, and mysterious genre. As Catherine grows older and begins to meet more of the world outside of her family to increase her social circle, her imagination begins to get the better of her. Everyday scenarios become romanticized and dramatic, natural deaths become mysterious, and innocent motives are questioned as Catherine fancies herself a character in a Gothic drama. Catherine’s naivete and escapism are what holds her back from maturing into an adult.

Emma Woodhouse no es la típica heroína de Jane Austen: no es dependiente, no tiene un status y una economía precarios, y no necesita, para asegurar su futuro, cazar marido. Al contrario, es una joven «inteligente, bella y rica», que no aspira al matrimonio y que rige como por derecho natural los destinos de la pequeña comunidad de Highbury. Emma (1816) es una fulgurante comedia de equívocos, llena de ocultaciones, intrigas y errores que muchas veces inspiran vergüenza ajena, pero en la que el sentido del ridículo sirve como vehículo para el acierto y la sensatez.

Queste raccolta completa di lettere scritte dalla Austen, (159), sono indirizzate quasi sempre alla sorella Cassandra, nei brevi periodi in cui non vivevano insieme. Molte sono state in gran parte distrutte da quest'ultima dopo la morte di Jane; pertanto dobbiamo prendere le lettere per quello che sono, senza aspettarci di trovarvi espressioni di soggetti privati come sentimenti, religione, politica. Ma queste istantanee di vita quotidiana, una dopo l'altra, hanno il potere di introdurci un po' alla volta nel suo mondo privato.

Persuasion follows Anne Elliot, a strong young woman, as she is reacquainted with her once-fiance, Frederick Wentworth.

Introduction and Notes by Dr Ian Littlewood, University of Sussex. Pride and Prejudice, which opens with one of the most famous sentences in English Literature, is an ironic novel of manners.

At 27, Anne Elliot is no longer considered young enough for worthy romantic prospects. Eight years earlier, she had been persuaded by her friend Lady Russell to break off her engagement to Frederick Wentworth, a handsome naval captain with neither fortune nor rank. What transpires when they encounter each other again is movingly told in Jane Austen's last completed novel. A brilliant satire of vanity and pretension, Persuasion is, above all, a love story tinged with the heartache of missed opportunities.

Northanger Abbey tells the story of a young girl, Catherine Morland who leaves her sheltered, rural home to enter the busy, sophisticated world of Bath in the late 1790s. Austen observes with insight and humour the interaction between Catherine and the various characters whom she meets there, and tracks her growing understanding of the world about her.
