1. In her next, and incomplete, work, Sanditon, Jane Austen seems much more ready to accept that in reality an acquisitive middle-class ethic is replacing the old gentlemanly ideal. Thorough studies of this aspect of Sanditon have been produced by W. R. Martin, ‘The Subject of Jane Austen’s Sanditon’, English Studies in Africa, 10 (1967), 87–93 and B. C. Southam, Jane Austen’s Literary Manuscripts, pp. 100–35.
2. A number of critics have recognised that Persuasion is a study of social change. These include Nina Auerbach, ‘“Oh Brave New World”: Evolution and Revolution in Persuasion’, ELH, 39 (1972) 112–28; Duckworth, pp. 180–208; Duffy, ‘Structure and Idea in Jane Austen’s Persuasion’, pp. 272–89; Rubinstein, pp. 172–90;
3. Joseph Wiesenfarth, ‘Persuasion: History and Myth’, Wordsworth Circle, 2 (1971) 160–8;
