Persuasion was one of the three novels written between February l811 and August 1816. As the manuscript was subscribed "Finish, July 18, 1816," It is probable that it was written later than Emma and Mansfield Park. It appears from The Memoir, moreover, that it was not finally completed in July, for in the original manuscript the re-engagement of Anne and Captain Wentworth was arranged in Admiral Croft's lodgings. This denouement did not satisfy Miss Austen, and she was at first depressed about the whole book. But she afterwards wrote Chapters X. and XI. as we now have them, which are thus the latest, and certainly not the least brilliant part of her works. The cancelled chapter is printed in The Memoir.
