Lady Susan

Lady Susan by Jane Austen

(14 reviews at Amazon.com)
Description: This epistolary novel, an early complete work that the author never submitted for publication, describes the schemes of the main character--the widowed Lady Susan--as she seeks a new husband for herself, and one for her daughter. 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. Lady Susan is a selfish, attractive woman, who tries to trap the best possible husband while maintaining a relationship with a married man. She subverts all the standards of the romantic novel: she has an active role, she's not only beautiful but intelligent and witty, and her suitors are significantly younger than she is (in contrast with Sense and Sensibility and Emma, which feature marriages of men who are old enough to be their wives' fathers). Although the ending includes a traditional reward for morality, Lady Susan herself is treated much more mildly than the adulteress in Mansfield Park, who is severely punished. Characters: Lady Susan Vernon Lady Susan is the main character of this story. At around 30 to 40 years old, she is a widow that is known to flagrantly manipulate and seduce men. She uses flirtation and seduction to gain her way through life. As a widow and a mother, her main goals are to quickly marry off her daughter Frederica, to a rich enough match and to marry an even better match for herself. Frederica Vernon Daughter of Lady Susan, Frederica is intended to a man who in the end marries Lady Susan. Mrs. Vernon Sister-in-law to Lady Susan, Mrs. Vernon clearly sees through Lady Susan’s charade and tries her hardest to save Frederica from an unwanted match. Mr. Vernon Brother-in-law to Lady Susan, he allows her to stay at his home. Reginald De Courcy Brother of Mrs. Vernon. Reginald is to be Lady Susan’s newest conquest; however, he realizes her true intentions when Frederica confronts him with a letter. Lady De Courcy Confidant and mother of Mrs. Vernon.
