«Lady Susan» is Jane Austen's epistolary novel, published by Alba in paperback (96 pages, in Spanish).
Lady Susan Vernon, a beautiful, intelligent and unscrupulous widow, maneuvers to secure an advantageous marriage for herself and for her daughter Frederica. Through the exchanged letters, Austen shows social hypocrisy, female power and the complexities of love and marriage in eighteenth-century England.
Probably written in 1794, it was first published in 1871. The present edition, which appeared in 2008, includes a translation by Marta Salís.
It will appeal to readers of Jane Austen and of epistolary novels with an unconventional female protagonist.
Jane Austen was an English writer known primarily for her six novels, which implicitly interpret, critique, and comment on the English landed gentry at the end of the 18th century.
