NOTES

Lady Susan, or Jane Austen's epistolary romance, never received much attention from two readers in comparison with her other six major romances, mainly because it was a short work. Scholars of her work estimate that it had been written between the years of 1793 and 1794, when a young writer found herself in her last years of adolescence and represents a hiatus in the totality of the work of Jane Austen because it is characterized as a study on a An adult woman, who uses her intelligence and charm to manipulate, bring and abuse her victims, such as them, lovers, friends or members of her own family. The story of LADY SUSAN revolves around her main character, a beautiful and flirtatious Lady Susan Vernon (some melhores characters raised by Jane Austen, differently from the protagonists of her later romances), a widower at the house of her 30 years, Who is looking for a new and advantageous marriage for himself, at the same time as he tries to tear off a marriage for his filha as a rich homemaker and everything that the latter despises. She will present your schedule of commitments with invitations for extended visits with the relatives of her deceased husband and conheted by a series of cunning ways, in order to reach her main plan. Scandalously funny and artistically melodramatic, Lady Susan is a romance that is set within the magnificent ensemble of Jane Austen's work, belittled by comparison with the six major romances published by the writer. Once a few romances can surpass or be equivalent to the works of Jane Austen, Lady Susan must be oily hair or that really is: a charming and very funny little girl, elaborated by a young writer who introduces us to interesting and provocative characters. He also reveals his initial understanding of social machinations through a very refined language
