Abstract
The incognito presence of Jane Austen in the literary scene of the 19th century harmonizes with the absence of the “non-body” of Anne, her heroine in Persuasion who, with or without narrative brake, withdraws towards herself and loses her identity demarcations with textual culmination in premature aging, the stigma of the "spinster" and her dehumanization in a hostile environment that accelerates her physical and mental annulment.
