Lady Susan

Lady Susan

USD $ 4,99

Complete and unabridged, with 58 full-page plates by Thomas Lawrence, Thomas Gainsborough and Henry Raeburn. Lady Susan Vernon is newly widowed, entirely charming, and busy arranging a marriage for her daughter that the girl would rather die than make. Austen wrote it at about nineteen, in letters, and never published it — a portrait of a woman who lies as easily as she breathes and is more entertaining than anyone else in the book. It is the coldest thing she ever wrote. Fifty-eight plates of portraits and scenes by painters including Thomas Lawrence and Joshua Reynolds, spanning 1750 to 1850, match the novel's cool appraisal of a society that judged women by the matches they made.

Jane Austen

Autor

Steventon, 1775-Winchester, 1817. Novelista británica. Séptima hija de una familia de ocho hermanos, su padre se encargó personalmente de su educación. En 1801, los Austen se trasladaron a Bath y luego a Chawton, un pueblo de Hampshire, donde la escritora redactó la mayoría de sus novelas. Apacible, sereno y equilibrado es su modo de escribir, y describe con sutil ironía el ambiente de la clase alta rural del sur de Inglaterra. El interés de sus obras reside en los diferentes matices psicológicos de sus personajes, y en la descripción, con una buena dosis de crítica, del ambiente social en que sitúa a sus protagonistas, que no es otro que el suyo propio, el de la burguesía acomodada.
