Introduction and Notes by Elaine Jordan, Reader in Literature, University of Essex.

What does persuasion mean - a firm belief, or the action of persuading someone to think something else? Anne Elliot is one of Austen's quietest heroines, but also one of the strongest and the most open to change. She lives at the time of the Napoleonic wars, a time of accident, adventure, the making of new fortunes and alliances.

A woman of no importance, she manoeuvres in her restricted circumstances as her long-time love Captain Wentworth did in the wars. Even though she is nearly thirty, well past the sell-by bloom of youth, Austen makes her win out for herself and for others like herself, in a regenerated society.

Notă biografică

Emma es una novela cómica escrita por Jane Austen, en inglés, publicada por vez primera en 1815 por el editor John Murray, sobre los peligros de malinterpretar el romance. El personaje principal, Emma Woodhouse, se describe como "hermosa, lista y rica" pero también es bastante mimada. Antes de comenzar la novela, Austen escribió: "Voy a elegir una heroína que, excepto a mí, no gustará mucho".Sinopsis El significado de Emma desciende del significado "Diosa de amor y de la fertilidad" y de "Diosa del deseo".Emma Woodhouse es una joven en la Inglaterra de la Regencia. Vive con su padre, un hipocondríaco caracterizado principalmente por su excesiva preocupación por la salud y el bienestar de aquellos a los que ama. La señorita Woodhouse está empeñada en hacer de casamentera de sus amistades y relaciones. Pero al ocuparse de los asuntos de sus amigas se olvida de atender sus propios sentimientos. El amigo de Emma y la única persona que la critica es el caballeroso señor Knightley, su "vecino" y cuñado (hermano del marido de su hermana), dieciséis años mayor que ella.Cuando su institutriz, la señorita Taylor, que era prácticamente su amiga y confidente, decide casarse, Emma se queda sola ante sus propios sentimientos. Emma, pagada de sí misma, cree que el matrimonio se debe a ella, por haber sido quien presentó a la señorita Taylor su futuro marido, el señor Weston. Emma se enfrenta a un vacío en su vida y con un gran dilema: cómo ayudar a los demás a tener una vida tan perfecta como la suya.En contra del consejo de Knightley, busca posibles novios para su nueva amiga, Harriet Smith, una joven sencilla y modesta, alejada del estilo de vida de la alta sociedad. Es una dulce chica de 17 años, no muy brillante, descrita como "la hija natural de alguien". La convence para que rechace un ventajoso matrimonio con un respetable y joven granjero, el señor Martin, pues Emma quiere emparejarla con el vicario local, el señor Elton. Su intriga casamentera va mal cuando resulta que el señor Elton, un trepador social, quiere casarse con la propia Emma. Después de que Emma rechace su proposición, el señor Elton se va de vacaciones. Harriet se imagina que está con el corazón destrozado, aunque Emma hace todo lo que puede por convencerla de que el señor Elton (que se revelará más arrogante y pomposo conforme avanza la historia) está por debajo de ellas dos.

Recenzii

"In Persuasion, Jane Austen picks up the pen to tell us who we are and what we want" Independent "Everyone has their Austen, and this is mine. Sparer, more savage - and also more poignant than Pride and Prejudice, this is a novel that tells us wisely and wittily about the nature of romantic entanglements and the follies of being human. It isn't riven with the deep, muscular ironies of, say, Emma, but there is something about the dry lightness of Persuasion that is deceptive. It stays with you long after you've read it" -- Nigella Lawson "I worship all of Austen's novels, but if I have to choose one over the others, I plump for the autumnal pleasures of Persuasion. This is the last work Austen completed before her death in 1817, and it is rather more tender and melancholy in tone than the novels that preceded it. I read it once or twice a year, whenever I feel in need of a good cry" -- Zoe Heller "A subtle and elegiac novel - more heartfelt than some of her earlier romances and with a truly appealing heroine" -- Joanna Trollope "Female self-worth could have been invented by Jane Austen. No wonder we still value her" -- Germaine Greer Guardian
