Persuasion. ILLUSTRATED

Persuasion is Jane Austen's last completed novel. She began it
soon after she had finished Emma, completing it in August, 1816. She
died, aged 41, in 1817, but Persuasion was not published until 1818.

Persuasion is connected with Northanger Abbey not only by the
fact that the two books were originally bound up in one volume and published
together two years later, but also because both stories are set partly in Bath,
a fashionable health resort with which Jane Austen was well acquainted, having
lived there from 1801 to 1805.
