For Elinor Dashwood, sensible and sensitive, and her romantic, impetuous younger sister Marianne, the prospect of marrying the men they love appears remote. In a world ruled by money and self-interest, the Dashwood sisters have neither fortune nor connections. Concerned for others and for social proprieties, Elinor is ill-equipped to compete with self-centered fortune-hunters like Lucy Steele, while Marianne's unswerving belief in the truth of her own feelings makes her more dangerously susceptible to the designs of unscrupulous men.

Considerato un romanzo "atipico" nella produzione letteraria di Jane Austen (Inghilterra, 1775/1817), "Persuasione" è il romanzo della maturità di Jane, dove i toni spumeggianti ed ironici che la caratterizzano lasciano il posto ad una narrazione dai toni più malinconici e introspettivi. Unica concessione all'ironia austeniana, il personaggio del padre della protagonista, un baronetto sciocco e vanesio il cui unico scopo nella vita è quello di apparire sempre giovane e bello.

Emma Woodhouse no es la típica heroína de Jane Austen: no es dependiente, no tiene un status y una economía precarios, y no necesita, para asegurar su futuro, cazar marido. Al contrario, es una joven «inteligente, bella y rica», que no aspira al matrimonio y que rige como por derecho natural los destinos de la pequeña comunidad de Highbury. Emma (1816) es una fulgurante comedia de equívocos, llena de ocultaciones, intrigas y errores que muchas veces inspiran vergüenza ajena, pero en la que el sentido del ridículo sirve como vehículo para el acierto y la sensatez.
