Jane Austen’s last completed novel, Persuasion is a delightful social satire of England’s landed gentry and a moving tale of lovers separated by class distinctions. After years apart, unmarried Anne Elliot, the heroine Jane Austen called “almost too good for me,” encounters the dashing naval officer others persuaded her to reject, as he now courts the rash and younger Louisa Musgrove. Superbly drawn, these characters and those of Anne’s prideful father, Sir Walter, the scheming Mrs. Clay, and the duplicitous William Elliot, heir to Kellynch Hall, become luminously alive—so much so that the poet Tennyson, visiting historic Lyme Regis, where a pivotal scene occurs, exclaimed: “Don’t talk to me of the Duke of Monmouth. Show me the exact spot where Louisa Musgrove fell!”
Tender, almost grave, Persuasion offers a glimpse into Jane Austen’s own heart while it magnificently displays the full maturity of her literary power.
“I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach.
You pirece my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that i am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever.
I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight years and a half ago.
Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an ealier death. I have loved none but you.
Unjust i may have been,weak and resentful i have been, but never inconstant. You alone have brought me to Bath. For you alone, I think and plan.——Have you not seen this? Can you fail to have understood my wishes? I had not waited even these ten days, could i have read your feelings, as i think you must have penetrated mine.
I can hardly writ... (查看原文)
