"Lady Susan" is a short novel by Jane Austen, written in 1794 and first published in 1871. Presented as a series of letters, it tells the story of the beautiful yet notorious Lady Susan and her schemes to find an advantageous second marriage for herself, while also forcing her daughter into a loveless match. "Lady Susan" is a masterful novel that explores the mores and manners of English society not to be missed by fans of Austen's seminal work and lovers of English literature. Jane Austen (1775 1817) was an English author known primarily for her novels, which critique the 18th century English upper classes and contemporary novels of sensibility. Her use of irony coupled with biting social commentary and realism have led to her wide acclaim amongst scholars and critics, her work contributing to the transition to 19th-century literary realism. Other notable works by this author include: "Sense and Sensibility" (1811), "Pride and Prejudice" (1813), and "Mansfield Park" (1814). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
