- This month, Emily and Alexandra discuss their favorite Jane Austen novel, Persuasion. Written at the end of her lifetime, Persuasion follows Anne Elliot as she is heading toward the end of her marriageable age. She is still carrying the torch for Captain Wentworth from her youth, who she was persuaded not to marry. Anne Elliot, older and wiser, is now able to stand apart from her shallow and oppressive father and older sister.
We discuss themes of the decay of the aristocracy and the rise of new money, the connections to Jane's own life, and the cult of youth.

Reading and drinking tea is one of my favorites!
Is there anything better?
What a great pair you two make as literary critics! And Persuasion is one of my favorites from Jane Austen, too (though Sense and Sensibility always tugs at my heart a bit more). Great discussion here, thank you.
Thanks! We have a lot of fun doing it.
