They were happily engaged until Anne's friend, Lady Russell, persuaded her that Frederick was "unworthy."

They still love each other, but their past mistakes threaten to keep them apart. &&LP&&RAusten may seem to paint on a small canvas, but her characters contain the full range of human passion and moral complexity, and the author's generous spirit renders them all with understanding, compassion, and humor. &&L/P&&R&&LP&&R&&LB&&RSusan Ostrov Weisser&&L/B&&R is a professor of English at Adelphi University, where she specializes in nineteenth-century literature and women's studies.
