Lady Susan y otras novelas

In addition to her six great novels,Jane Austen also wrote shorter stories in which the qualities that make her one of the public's favorites are no less recognizable or brilliant, such as the analysis of the feelings, a fine sense of humor and skillful characterization of the characters. This volume brings together the best of these smaller works in size, but not in quality: "Lady Susan," a novel whose uninhibited protagonist departs from the most common types in Austen's works; "The Watsons", in which she explores the situation of dependency of women; "Love and Friendship", an amusing parody of her gallant novels, and "Sanditon", a promising novel that truncated the illness that led to the author's death.
