Lady Susan

Jane Austen

Inspired by the French novel, Les Liaisons Dangereuses, Jane Austen tried her hand at the epistolary form of storytelling in Lady Susan. This early novella provides a glimpse of the caustic wit and brilliant social satire that were to delight readers of her later novels. Following the success of Love and Friendship and Lesley Castle, Lady Susan brings fresh pleasure to Austen’s fans.

Jane Austen (1775–1817) wrote six novels, including Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility and Emma.
