Introducing Little Clothbound Classics- irresistible, mini editions of short stories, novellas and essays from the world' s greatest writers, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith. Recently widowed, the unscrupulous and beautiful Lady Susan Vernon is determined to scheme her way through high society in the hope of a profitable new match - all while trying to marry off her unfortunate daughter. Told through a series of letters, Jane Austen' s magnificent first novella is as subversive as it is charming.
The wit of Jane Austen has for partner the perfection of her taste -- Virginia Woolf
Jane Austen, the daughter of a clergyman, was born in Hampshire in 1775, and later lived in Bath and the village of Chawton. As a child and teenager, she wrote brilliantly witty stories for her family' s amusement, as well as a novella, Lady Susan. Her first published novel was Sense and Sensibility, which appeared in 1811 and was soon followed by Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park and Emma. Austen died in 1817, and Persuasion and Northanger Abbey were published posthumously in 1818.
