Lady Susan and Other Works-Jane Austen

This collection brings together Jane Austen’s earliest experiments

in the art of fiction and novels that she left incomplete at the

time of her premature death in 1817. Her fragmentary juvenilia

show Austen developing her own sense of narrative form whilst

parodying popular kinds of fiction of her day. Lady Susan is a

wickedly funny epistolary novel about a captivating but

unscrupulous widow seeking to snare husbands for her daughter

and herself. The Watsons explores themes of family relationships,

the marriage market, and attitudes to rank, which became the

hallmarks of her major novels. In Sanditon, Austen exercises

her acute powers of social observation in the setting of a newly

fashionable seaside resort. These novels are here joined by

shorter fictions that survive in Austen’s manuscripts, including

critically acclaimed works like Catharine, Love and

Freindship [sic], and The History of England.
