Lady Susan
This is the original and unabridged text of Lady Susan by Jane Austen. The widowed Lady Susan seeks a new husband for herself and one for her daughter. Lady Susan is a selfish, unscrupulous and scheming woman, highly attractive to men, who tries to trap the best possible husband while maintaining a relationship with a married man. Lady Susan is a short novel which Austen never submitted for publication. Although the theme, together with the focus on character study and moral issues, is close to Austen's published work (Sense and Sensibility was also originally written in the epistolary form), its outlook is very different, and the heroine has few parallels in 19th-century literature.

The long illness of her dear father prevented my paying her that attentionwhich
Lady Susan
Lady Susan är en underhållande brevroman och ett av Jane Austens tidiga verk, skriven 1793 94, men utgiven postumt. I brev som skickas mellan romanens karaktärer får vi följa änkan Susan Vernons försök att skaffa både sig själv och sin dotter ett gott parti. Susan är inte bara bedövande vacker utan också intelligent och kvick. Men där slutar likheterna med den typiska hjältinnekaraktären. I breven tecknas ett porträtt av en självisk, hänsynslös och manipulativ kvinna som spelar ett cyniskt och slugt spel med männen i sin omgivning. Lady Susan sticker ut bland Jane Austens verk, bland annat i det att Susans omoraliska beteende inte straffas lika hårt som liknande handlingar gör i Austens övriga böcker. JANE AUSTEN (1775 1817) föddes i Hampshire som det sjunde barnet av åtta. Hennes pappa, som var kyrkoherde, uppmuntrade sina döttrar att läsa och Austen började tidigt skriva. Hennes första publicerade roman var Förnuft och känsla (originaltitel: Sense and sensibility) som gavs ut 1811. Austens romaner utspelar sig i den brittiska aristokratin och innehåller ofta undertoner av kritik mot överklassens sociala konventioner vilka hämmade främst kvinnor att finna kärlek och lycka. Austen dog av sjukdom i juli 1817.
