Opens with the expectation that Sir Walter Elliot's cousin William Walter Elliot one day inherits Kellynch Hall--its manor house, park, and pleasure grounds--and Sir Walter's baronetcy. The aging baronet's wife Lady Elliot died years ago, leaving three daughters now grown up--Elizabeth, Anne, and Mary. Sir Walter's financial extravagance requires his retrenchment--renting out the mansion and moving to less expensive Bath where he can retain his elevated social status. Sir Walter's aristocratic values based on inherited landed wealth and title has been misused by him, as he indifferently regards its concomitant responsibilities of stewardship. Physical beauty and social rank make up his concerns. About the same time in the early eighteenth century, his dwindling aristocratic fortunes are competing with the emerging meritocracy of the self-made man. In "Persuasion" those gentlemen are naval officers who earned riches through capturing enemy ships in the Napoleonic wars. "Persuasion" is set in a lull in the action, the Royal Navy being assigned to domestic duties. The Battle of Trafalgar lies after the book ends. Admiral Croft and Mrs Sophia Croft, the latter being Frederick Wentworth's elder sister, become the tenants of Kellynch. The motherless Anne Elliot is the heroine of this story, the hero Wentworth being the young man of uncertain prospects, whom Anne had sadly rejected seven years ago through the persuasion of her godmother Lady Russell. Leaving Kellynch Hall to the Crofts, Sir Walter moves to Bath. Anne, who does not like the superficiality of that resort, temporarily moves to her younger married sister's Mary Musgrove's home in Uppercross, where she meets again after seven years the prosperous, somewhat resentful, now wealthy Captain Wentworth, who is greatly, flatteringly admired by Charles Musgrove's two eligible sisters. Excited by the prospect of an outing to the seacoast resort of Lyme Regis for the purpose of Captain Wentworth's visiting his friend Captain Harville, the several characters spend an overnight at its inn. The next morning leads "Persuasion" into an entirely different direction in which reconciliations occur, duplicities discovered, and true feelings uncovered. The second half of the book is set in Bath, on which the many characters converge. The exciting pace of this part sees changes in the characters, has an interesting debate between Harville and Anne about constancy in women and men, brings in Anne's good friend Mrs Smith, and has a romantic letter and conversations between Wentworth and Anne.
