Synopsis "Lady Susan (in Catalan)"

Aquesta novel·la epistolar. escrita probablement el 1794. narra els plans de la protagonista. lady Susan. enviudada fa poc. de trobar un nou marit. a la vegada que intenta casar la seva filla de setze anys. Austen se serveix d’aquest gènere per construir una obra en la qual les diverses cartes encaixen com si fossin peces d’un trencaclosques fins a completar davant els ulls del lector una història de petites intrigues. L’obra subverteix totes les normes de la novel·la romàntica: lady Susan hi té un paper actiu, no tan sols és bonica. sinó també intel·ligent i enginyosa. i els seus admiradors són significativament més joves que ella. «Hi ha escriptors que ens agraden. escriptors a qui admirem i escriptors a qui vam estimar des del primer paràgraf del primer llibre seu que ens va tenir entre les seves mans. Escriptors entranyables. les històries dels quals esdevenen part de les nostres. Jane Austen pertany a aquest grup.» Ángeles Mastretta. El País

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)
