Half Agony Half Hope Persuasion Enamel Pin
$16.99
Captain Wentworth, With Feelings
Jane Austen's Persuasion gets the enamel-pin treatment, with the words “Half Agony Half Hope” nodding to Captain Wentworth's famously heartfelt letter. The artist's hand motif draws on Victorian symbolism of grief and remembrance: love may be lost, but loyalty and commitment remain. The design brings a little Regency feeling to a jacket, bag, or bookish corner.
Captain Wentworth is Austen's romantic hero at full strength: restrained until he absolutely cannot be, then suddenly very clear about the matter. This pin is for readers who appreciate the emotional payoff.
