Synopsis "Lady Susan: A Tale of Love & Friendship "

Despite Lady Susan being one of her earliest works, it is perhaps Jane Austen's most ambitious book. It was probably written between 1793 and 1795 and not published until many years after Austen's death. Lady Susan is presented as a series of letters outlining the story of the widowed Lady Susan Vernon and her attempts to locate a rich husband for her daughter Frederica and an even richer one for herself. Lady Susan is a beautiful but scheming and unscrupulous woman. This book chronicles her quest, as well as her conquests, as she works her way through eighteenth-century English society.Solis Press is pleased to be able to publish this new edition, which has been typeset with a new, fresh design and includes modern English spellings, in time for the release of the film Love & Friendship.

She was a British novelist who lived during the Georgian era. She was born in the rectory of Steventon (Hampshire). Her family belonged to the British gentry (rural nobility or agrarian bourgeoisie), a context she never left and in which she set all her works, always revolving around the marriage of her protagonist.

She has been portrayed in cinema on numerous occasions, sometimes faithfully reproduced, like the 1940 classic Pride and Prejudice directed by Robert Z. Leonard and starring Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier, and other times adapted to modern times, as is the case with Clueless, a loose adaptation of Emma. Other versions include Sense and Sensibility from 1995; Mansfield Park from 2000; and Pride and Prejudice in 2004 (directed by Gurinder Chadha) and in 2005 (directed by Joe Wright). However, the most faithful and perfect version of the book Pride and Prejudice to date is the series presented by the BBC starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. The interest that Jane Austen's work continues to arouse today shows the relevance of her thought and the influence she has had on subsequent literature. Her life has also been portrayed in film with the movie Becoming Jane (2007)
