Lady Susan, Jane Austen’s first novel, is unique in its epistolary format, welcoming the reader directly into the consciousness of Austen’s characters as they express their thoughts, feelings, and observations through letters. With an introduction written by Natalie Jenner, author of the international bestseller The Jane Austen Society, who describes Lady Susan as “one of the most duplicitous and manipulative characters” of all that Austen ever created, this classic literary novel continues to be enjoyed by Jane Austen enthusiasts.
