Big Books: Persuasion

Big Books: Persuasion In-Person

Jane Austen’s Persuasion is considered by many to be her finest, most mature, and most introspective novel. Austen tells the story of Anne Elliot, who is dealing with the consequences of turning down an unsuitable offer of marriage because of family pressure. Although this is a darker novel than her others, Austen still uses wit and satire to skewer England’s social class system and those who care only for their position on the social ladder.

This three-week session of Big Books will be led by Teresa Grosch, formerly the associate editor of fiction and editor of the Political Forum at Playboy magazine. Registration is required.
