But \u003ci\u003ePersuasion\u003c\/i\u003e (1817), completed at the end of her life, can be challenging for students to approach. They are surprised to meet a heroine so subdued and self-sacrificing, and the novel's setting during the Napoleonic Wars may be unfamiliar. This volume provides teachers with avenues to explore the depths and richness of the novel with both Austen fans and newcomers.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart 1, \"Materials,\" suggests editions for classroom use, criticism, and multimedia resources. Part 2, \"Approaches,\" presents strategies for teaching the literary, contextual, and philosophical dimensions of the novel. Essays address topics such as free indirect discourse and other narrative techniques; social class in Austen's England; the role of the navy during war and peacetime; key locations in the novel, including Lyme Regis and Bath; and health, illness, and the ethics of care.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n","brand":"Modern Language Association","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52620835881240,"sku":"9781603294775","price":69.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/approaches-to-teaching-austens-persuasion-hardback-9781603294775","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
