Persuasion was the last of Jane Austen's work being finished in 1816 (I'll stand a correction if this is wrong?) . By that time the war in Europe had ended and also the war against America both around 1814-15 so two major conflicts ended at that time. Effectively, wars then were over when
Persuasion was published ( a fact borne out by Frederick's return with his fortune made.) "Home is the sailor, home from the sea, and the hunter home from the hill" as Robert Louis Stevenson was to write later in his poem
Requiem. With todays equivalent ( approximate) amount of some two and a half million pounds to his name and the love of his life as his wife, I have to wonder why he would go back to sea at all. Still..que sera..(-:
