Lady Susan es una novela corta epistolar de Jane Austen, posiblemente escrita en1794 pero no publicado hasta 1871.
Esta novela epistolar, una obra temprana completo que el autor nunca presentó para su publicación, describe los planes de los principales personajes de la viuda Lady Susan,mientras busca un nuevo marido para ella y otro para su hija. Aunque el tema, junto conel enfoque en el estudio de caracteres y las cuestiones morales, está cerca de los trabajos publicados Austen (Sentido y sensibilidad también fue originalmente escritoen forma epistolar), su perspectiva es muy diferente, y la heroína tiene pocos paralelosen el 19-la literatura del siglo. Lady Susan es una mujer egoísta, atractivo, que trata deatrapar al marido lo mejor posible, manteniendo una relación con un hombre casado.Ella subvierte todas las normas de la novela romántica: ella tiene un papel activo, queno sólo es hermosa, pero inteligente e ingenioso, y sus pretendientes sonsignificativamente más jóvenes que ella (en contraste con Sentido y sensibilidad yEmma, que cuentan con los matrimonios de hombres que son diez y seis años más viejos que sus esposas). Aunque el final incluye una recompensa tradicionales de la moral, la propia Lady Susan se trata mucho más leve que la mujer adúltera enMansfield Park, quien es severamente castigado.

About the Author

In 1801, George Austen retired from the clergy, and Jane, Cassandra, and their parents took up residence in Bath, a fashionable town Jane liked far less than her native village. Jane seems to have written little during this period. When Mr. Austen died in 1805, the three women, Mrs. Austen and her daughters, moved first to Southampton and then, partly subsidized by Jane's brothers, occupied a house in Chawton, a village not unlike Jane's first home. There she began to work on writing and pursued publishing once more, leading to the anonymous publication of Sense and Sensibility in 1811 and Pride and Prejudice in 1813, to modestly good reviews.

Known for her cheerful, modest, and witty character, Jane Austen had a busy family and social life, but as far as we know very little direct romantic experience. There were early flirtations, a quickly retracted agreement to marry the wealthy brother of a friend, and a rumored short-lived attachment -- while she was traveling -- that has not been verified. Her last years were quiet and devoted to family, friends, and writing her final novels. In 1817 she had to interrupt work on her last and unfinished novel, Sanditon, because she fell ill. She died on July 18, 1817, in Winchester, where she had been taken for medical treatment. After her death, her novels Northanger Abbey and Persuasion were published, together with a biographical notice, due to the efforts of her brother Henry. Austen is buried in Winchester Cathedral.
