Anne Elliot's Story
Anne Elliot is a young woman who falls in love with a handsome naval officer, but her proud family considers his status and prospects inadequate. Heartbroken, the lovers part, and he goes to sea while she leads a forlorn life at home. Years later, he returns with a fortune in prize money and claims her as his bride. This is the story of Anne Elliot in Jane Austen's Persuasion, and it is also the story of Katherine Bisshopp, the clever, beautiful daughter of an old Sussex family. Drawing on Katherine's letters, journals, and other family papers, this book relates the joys and anxieties of her youth, her harrowing eleven-year courtship with George Pechell, and their happy and prosperous union, which produced two daughters and a son. Splinter chapters draw parallels with Jane Austen's portrait of society and reveal the extraordinary coincidences of character and circumstance between Katherine Bisshopp and Anne Elliot, while the real woman's experiences after her marriage are seen as a possible future for the fictional heroine. The reality of history and the deeper truth of literature together yield a detailed picture of the age.
