Persuasion

Ozias Humphry, The Rice Portrait of Jane Austen, 1788

By Jane Austen, edited by Robert Morrison, Cambridge, Belknap Press, 2011

Another super annotated edition of a Jane Austen novel by the smarties at Belknap Press.  The emphasis by the editor, Morrison, is how this late novel shows Austen's increasing interest in emotional states (i.e., proto-Romanticism) and her swing to a more evangelical infected Anglicism.
