Summary:
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Lady Susan is Jane Austen’s sharpest and most provocative novella — a masterclass in wit, irony, and social maneuvering. Written in epistolary form, the story centers around the beautiful, charming, and dangerously manipulative Lady Susan Vernon, a recent widow determined to secure advantageous matches for both herself and her daughter, regardless of morality or convention.
Through a series of revealing letters exchanged between family and acquaintances, Austen constructs a portrait of a woman who defies the expectations of femininity in Regency England. Lady Susan’s unapologetic pursuit of power, wealth, and personal satisfaction makes her one of the most complex and subversive female characters in Austen’s oeuvre.
Elegant, biting, and entertaining, Lady Susan explores themes of gender, reputation, and hypocrisy with Austen’s signature wit. Though lesser known than her major novels, this early work displays the brilliance of her social commentary and her fearless exploration of female agency in a restrictive world.
