"Senso" è la storia di una relazione, di un tradimento, di un inganno, di una vendetta, sullo sfondo della terza guerra di indipendenza. Racconto insolito, che andrà incontro a un altrettanto insolito destino, ripropone l'intelaiatura del melodramma ma ne snatura implicitamente i contenuti e gli effetti; dissacra le certezze morali e le illusioni sentimentali; destabilizza le attese e spiazza il lettore. Viene a lungo trascurato dalla critica e dal pubblico, ma viene riscoperta quando diventa un film nel 1954 di Luchino Visconti.

Attachante et nostalgique, "Persuasion" est sans doute l'œuvre la plus personnelle de l'auteur. Sous le vernis d'un genre, chacune des phrases de Jane Austen attaque les conventions, traque les ridicules et finit avec une grâce exquise par pulvériser la morale bourgeoise, sans avoir l'air d'y toucher. Les héroïnes de Jane Austen lui ressemblent : elles aiment les potins mais détestent les bavardages, la grossièreté et la vulgarité. La pudeur, le tact, la discrétion, l'humour sont les seules convenances qu'elles reconnaissent... Et si Jane Austen mène les jeunes filles au mariage, il faut souhaiter au mari d'être à la hauteur !
