A calendar for Persuasion, by Ellen Moody
A companion article on Austen’s use of Almanacs in her writing (Ellen Moody); a surprising conclusion: “Excepting only Northanger Abbey, Austen makes sure a certain kind of pivotal event in her longer finished novels occurs on a TUESDAY.” Hmmm…

Thank you so much for having this information available. I am doing a project about Persuasion and the map and other links were extremely helpful!
Hello Elisa, Glad that you found this helpful – this Persuasion page is a work in progress and there could be so much more on it … you will find many other things on the internet [there is much out there!] – the JASNA.org site has maps of all the novels, including Bath. Good luck with your project [Persuasion is my favorite novel!]
Thank you for visiting – if you have other questions, please do ask…
Best,
Deb
