She was the seventh child of the local rector, and her life, by modern standards, was uneventful. In 1801, she moved with her parents to Bath but returned to Hampshire when her father died, settling in the village of Chawton. She remained there until 1817, when she moved to Winchester to be within easy reach of her doctor. She died that year, at age forty-one, and is buried in Winchester Cathedral, which also contains a plaque in honor of her memory. Four of her novels were published anonymously in her lifetime; two more, one of which was \u003ci\u003ePersuasion\u003c\/i\u003e, appeared posthumously.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Chartwell Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50497325596946,"sku":"9780785841609","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_1d365dcf-0c9e-41a0-8c8e-063280c95d49.jpg?v=1764754163","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/persuasion-9780785841609","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
