Northanger Abbey has long been a popular member of the Jane Austen canon of novels, with its combination of literary burlesque, satirizing the prevailing taste for gothic action, and the story of Catherine Morland's adventures as she captures the heart of Henry Tilney.
Persuasion, the last completed novel Jane Austen wrote, was finished in 1816, the year before her death, and published posthumously in 1817. It features a heroine, Anne Elliot, older and wiser than her predecessors in earlier books, and its tone is more intimate and sober as Jane Austen unfolds a simple love-story with depth and subtlety.
