Persuasion

Jane Austen (1817)

Persuasion follows Anne Elliot, who once gave up Captain Wentworth after being urged to reject an uncertain match. Years later, he returns with success, resentment, and the power to reopen everything Anne tried to bury. In LLCL, students can read the original or leveled version while examining regret, social rank, family pressure, emotional restraint, naval society, and Austen’s mature treatment of second chances.
