Jane Austen began Persuasion in 1815, although it was not published until 1818, when it appeared in a posthumous volume alongside a much earlier novel, Northanger Abbey. Originally entitled "The Elliots," Persuasion is the only one of Austen's completed novels to have been written after the Napoleonic Wars, or certainly after their end was in sight. This fact explains why the novel is different from Austen's earlier work, which remains within the idioms governing 18th-century fiction, particularly those deriving from epistolary narrative.
