Rhetoric and Gender in Jane Austen's "Persuasion."
Walzer, Arthur E.
College English, v57 n6 p688-707 Oct 1995
Argues for a reading of Jane Austen's "Persuasion" that undermines Joseph Duffy's reading of the novel as a commentary on shifting social class structures, and which bolsters Nancy Armstrong's reading as a commentary on female voice and the values of the domestic household. Interprets the novel in the light of 18th-century rhetorical theory. (TB)
