Lady SusanLady Susan is Jane Austen's depiction of the attraction of evil. Written when the author was nineteen, this early letter novel is a brilliantly cynical study of high society. In Lady Susan we experience the malicious wit and energy of the early writings and glimpse the polish and sophistication of her later novels."--Jacket |
