LADY SUSAN VERNON TO MR. VERNONLangford, Dec.MY DEAR BROTHER, -I can no longer refuse myself the pleasure of profiting by your kindinvitation when we last parted of spending some weeks with you at Churchhill, and, therefore, ifquite convenient to you and Mrs. Vernon to receive me at present, I shall hope within a few days tobe introduced to a sister whom I have so long desired to be acquainted with. My kind friends hereare most affectionately urgent with me to prolong my stay, but their hospitable and cheerfuldispositions lead them too much into society for my present situation and state of mind; and Iimpatiently look forward to the hour when I shall be admitted into your delightful retirement.I long to be made known to your dear little children, in whose hearts I shall be very eager tosecure an interest I shall soon have need for all my fortitude, as I am on the point of separationfrom my own daughter. The long illness of her dear father prevented my paying her that attentionwhich duty and affection equally dictated, and I have too much reason to fear that the governess towhose care I consigned her was unequal to the charge. I have therefore resolved on placing her atone of the best private schools in town, where I shall have an opportunity of leaving her myself inmy way to you. I am determined, you see, not to be denied admittance at Churchhill. It wouldindeed give me most painful sensations to know that it were not in your power to receive me.Your most obliged and affectionate sister, S. VERNON. 3IILADY SUSAN VERNON TO MRS. JOHNSONLangford.You were mistaken, my dear Alicia, in supposing me fixed at this place for the rest of the winter: it grieves me to say how greatly you were mistaken, for I have seldom spent three months moreagreeably than those which have just flown away. At present, nothing goes smoothly; the females ofthe family are united against me. You foretold how it would be when I first came to Langford, andMainwaring is so uncommonly pleasing that I was not without apprehensions for myself. Iremember saying to myself, as I drove to the house, "I like this man, pray Heaven no harm come ofit " But I was determined to be discreet, to bear in mind my being only four months a widow, and tobe as quiet as possible: and I have been so, my dear creature; I have admitted no one's attentions butMainwaring's. I have avoided all general flirtation whatever; I have distinguished no creature besides, of all the numbers resorting hither, except Sir James Martin, on whom I bestowed a little notice, inorder to detach him from Miss Mainwaring; but, if the world could know my motive THERE theywould honour me. I have been called an unkind mother, but it was the sacred impulse of maternalaffection, it was the advantage of my daughter that led me on; and if that daughter were not thegreatest simpleton on earth, I might have been rewarded for my exertions as I ou

Notă biografică

Jane Austen is arguably one of the best English novelists of our time, known primarily for her six major novels, which interpret, critique and comment upon the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Austen's plots often explore the dependence of women on marriage in the pursuit of favorable social standing and economic security. Her works critique the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century literary realism. Her use of biting irony, along with her realism, humor, and social commentary, have long earned her acclaim among critics, scholars, and popular audiences alike. With the publication of Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1816), she achieved success as a published writer. She wrote two other novels, Northbnger Abbey and Persuasion, both published posthumously in 1818.Her six full-length novels have rarely been out of print, although they were published anonymously and brought her moderate success and little fame during her lifetime. A significant transition in her posthumous reputation occurred in 1833, when her novels were republished in Richard Bentley's Standard Novels series, illustrated by Ferdinand Pickering, and sold as a set. They gradually gained wider acclaim and popular readership. In 1869, fifty-two years after her death, her nephew's publication of A Memoir of Jane Austen introduced a compelling version of her writing career and supposedly uneventful life to an eager audience.Austen began another, eventually titled Sanditon, but died before its completion. She also left behind three volumes of juvenile writings in manuscript, the short epistolary novel Lady Susan, and another unfinished novel, The Watsons. These previous unpublished works are all here for your enjoyment. This edition also includes all of her private letters to really get into the psyche of Jane Austen and delve deeper into her personal life and what made the most prolific female writer of all time.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

Lady Susan (1871) is a novel by English author Jane Austen. Originally written in 1794--making it one of Austen's earliest complete works--Lady Susan was published posthumously and has since been of interest to readers and scholars alike. It is notable for its epistolary form, a popular style of prose fiction writing in the late-eighteenth century in which the narrative is told in the form of letters between characters embedded in the story itself. The epistolary novel mimics letter writing in order to distance the author from their work, as well as to simulate the secrecy and intimacy of private communication for its reader.

Austen's novel, narrated by letters between its cast of characters, follows Lady Johnson's visit to Churchill, the country estate of her brother- and sister-in-law Charles and Catherine Vernon. At Churchill, Lady Susan seduces and denies Catherine's brother Reginald De Courcy, a handsome but gullible man. When Frederica, Lady Susan's teenage daughter, arrives, she begins to fall in love with Reginald. This disrupts not just her mother's control of the young man, but her plan for Frederica to marry Sir James Martin, a wealthy suitor who soon arrives at Churchill himself. As the plot unfolds, and as the bonds of familial and romantic affection are tested, a drama of chaos and comedy ensues which bears the hallmark clarity of Austen's moral vision.

Lady Susan is an early masterpiece from renowned novelist Jane Austen, a text which not only clears the path for her more famous novels to come, but carves a space for itself in a truly legendary body of work.

With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Jane Austen's Lady Susan is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.
