Here, Anne, the unappreciated middle daughter of the Elliots, has new choices to make, between the customs and traditions in which she was brought up and the excitement of the unknown.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Linda Bree has done a marvelous job in this superb new edition of \u003cem\u003ePersuasion\u003c\/em\u003e. The searching introduction, the informative notes, and most of all the illuminating selection of contextual material make Austen’s well-known masterpiece come alive again as a compelling and unsettling new text. Bree clarifies subtleties of class structure, social criticism, and manners that elude many North American as well as British students. Newcomers and longtime admirers of this novel will find much to learn from and enjoy here. All in all, Bree’s edition deepens and enriches our understanding of \u003cem\u003ePersuasion\u003c\/em\u003e. An impressive and admirable achievement!” — Claudia L.
