Lady Susan

Lady Susan is a provocative novel of Regency customs and manners about the exploits of Lady Susan Vernon who seeks a new and advantageous marriage for herself, and attempts to push her daughter into marriage. Jane Austen was an English novelist whose works of romantic fiction earned her a place as one of the most widely read writers in English literature. Her plots are fundamentally comic and highlight the dependence of women on marriage to secure social standing and economic security.
