Well, Here We Are

Most Austentatious! Everything was "Persuasion" and Nothing Hurt

Hannah & Suzanne Season 1 Episode 37

Hannah believes that "Persuasion" is the finest of Jane Austen's work. Can Suzanne be ... persuaded ... to also endorse that point of view? They discuss four major successful and attempted persuasions throughout the book and what Jane might be suggesting about the purpose and nature of influence. They also somehow manage to go almost the entire episode before discussing perhaps the most romantic declaration of love in any Austen novel.
