With an Introduction, explanatory notes, and annotated bibliography by Nicholas Seager. This collection brings together Jane Austen's earliest experiments in the art of fiction and novels that she left incomplete at the time of her premature death in 1817. Her fragmentary juvenilia show Austen developing her own sense of narrative form whilst parodying popular kinds of fiction of her day. Lady Susan is a wickedly funny epistolary novel about a captivating but unscrupulous widow seeking to snare husbands for her daughter and herself. The Watsons explores themes of family relationships, the marriage market, and attitudes to rank, which became the hallmarks of her major novels. In Sanditon, Austen exercises her acute powers of social observation in the setting of a newly fashionable seaside resort. These novels are here joined by shorter fictions that survive in Austen's manuscripts, including critically acclaimed works like Catharine, Love and Freindship [sic], and The History of England.

“Lady Susan” is a short novel by Jane Austen, written in 1794 and first published in 1871. Presented as a series of letters, it tells the story of the beautiful yet notorious Lady Susan and her schemes to find an advantageous second marriage for herself, while also forcing her daughter into a loveless match. “Lady Susan” is a masterful novel that explores the mores and manners of English society not to be missed by fans of Austen’s seminal work and lovers of English literature. Jane Austen (1775 – 1817) was an English author known primarily for her novels, which critique the 18th century English upper classes and contemporary novels of sensibility. Her use of irony coupled with biting social commentary and realism have led to her wide acclaim amongst scholars and critics, her work contributing to the transition to 19th-century literary realism. Other notable works by this author include: “Sense and Sensibility” (1811), “Pride and Prejudice” (1813), and “Mansfield Park” (1814). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.

'I am tired of submitting my will to the caprices of others-of resigning my own judgement in deference to those to whom I owe no duty, and for whom I feel no respect.' The unfinished fictions collected here are the novels and other writing that Jane Austen did not publish. The protagonist of the earliest story is Lady Susan, a sexual predator and a brilliant and manipulative sociopath. The Watsons, a tale of riches to rags, is set in a village deep in mud and misery where the Watson sisters waste away, day after dull day, waiting for the suitors who never appear. Sanditon, the novel interrupted by the author's death, is a topical satire on the niche marketing campaign waged by investors in the latest seaside resort, the fictional Sanditon, situated on England's over-supplied south coast. If The Watsons shares the disturbed life of a Chekhov short story, Sanditon's cast of eccentrics anticipates the zany world of Dickens. Experimental and sharp-elbowed, all three probe new areas of invention and push out beyond what we expect to find in a novel by Jane Austen. This edition collects together all Austen's unpublished adult fiction, poetry, and related writings, written in her late teens, in her late twenties, and in the year she died, aged forty-one. They contribute more than a dash of discomfort to our modern image of the romantic novelist and reveal Jane Austen's development as a writer.

Lady Susan Vernon is a widow who loves to manipulate and seduce men. Single, married, it's all the same to her. She has two goals--first to marry off her daughter to a man who has enough money to care for her, and second to marry someone even richer herself. The story unfolds in epistolary form, and is quite different from Jane Austen's other work. For example, Lady Susan is more than a match for any man she meets, she's not only beautiful and smart, but tends to seduce younger men--in Austen's novels, her heroines always go for older men. A very interesting change of pace, this novella was written before Sense and Sensibility. This Large Print Edition is presented in easy-to-read 16 point type.

However, it was not published until after her death in 1817, along with another novel of hers, Persuasion.

In the course of the novel, she discovers that she differs from those other women who crave wealth or social acceptance, as instead she wishes only to have happiness supported by genuine morality.Geraldine Edith Mitton (14 October 1868 - 25 March 1955), pen name G. E. Mitton, was an English novelist, biographer, editor, and guide-book writer.

Lady Susan, The Watsons, Sanditon is a collection of early, relatively unknown works by an English writer Jane Austen.Lady Susan was never published during the author's lifetime. Recently widowed Lady Susan Vernon tries to settle her life. The family estate of her husband is sold to cover the debts, nearly all respectable houses do not accept her. Receiving an invitation from the brother of her late husband, she takes this chance. She finds a young lord for her daughter and moves to the province. The Vernons are not looking forward to having Lady Susan, but accept her...The Watsons is one of the shortest work written by Jane Austen. In fact, it is an elegant sketch of a novel, the main motive of which - a fiance hunting - was realized by Austen in other works.Sanditon is an unfinished novel by a famous English writer. Citizens of a new town Sanditon try to build their own "new world" in a form of a seaside resort. Every time when these citizens gather, they talk only about Sanditon, a number of tourists, and chances for a good season. But the town develops only in these talks. In reality, everything is much worse...
