Unpublished in her lifetime, this is still the inimitable Jane, here, unabridged, in an accessible modern edition One of the approachable Callender Classic Reprints series
How to Pursue the Man of Your Desires and Create Disaster Beautiful, flirtatious, and recently widowed, Lady Susan Vernon seeks a new and advantageous marriage for herself, and at the same time attempts to push her daughter into marriage with a man she detests. Through a series of crafty maneuvers, she fills her calendar with invitations for extended visits with unsuspecting relatives and acquaintances in pursuit of her grand plan. As the plot unfolds, characters are revealed and the suspense builds - all through letters exchanged among Lady Susan, her family, friends, and enemies. Described by her rivals as the "most accomplished coquette in England," amply endowed with "captivating deceit," Susan proves to be a remarkable figure, devoid of any redeeming qualities, whose intrigues and devious machinations ultimately lead to disastrous results. Lady Susan is a magnificently crafted (and frequently provocative) novel of Regency customs and manners.
The new hit movie Love and Friendship is based on Jane Austen's Lady Susan, an early epistolary work by the author of Pride and Prejudice which she never submitted for publication. Lady Susan was eventually published posthumously in 1871 and has since become a classic alongside Sense and Sensibility, Persuasion, Mansfield Park and the rest of Austen's cherished works.

Esta novela epistolar, escrita probablemente en 1794, narra los planes de la protagonista, la recientemente viuda lady Susan, para encontrar un nuevo marido, a la vez que intenta casar a su hija de diecis is a os. Austen se sirve de este g nero para construir una obra en donde las distintas cartas se engarzan como piezas de un rompecabezas hasta completar ante los ojos del lector una historia de peque as intrigas. La obra subvierte todas las normas de la novela rom ntica: lady Susan tiene un papel activo; no s lo es hermosa, sino tambi n inteligente e ingeniosa, y sus pretendientes son significativamente m s j venes que ella. Hay escritores que nos gustan, escritores a los que admiramos y escritores a los que quisimos desde el primer p rrafo del primer libro suyo que nos tuvo entre sus manos. Escritores entra ables cuyas historias se vuelven parte de las nuestras. Jane Austen es una de ellos.
A must-read for any devotee of Jane Austen, Janet Todd’s 'naughty-Austen' reimagining of the epistolary novel Lady Susan will capture your literary imagination and get your heart racing.Austen’s only anti-heroine, Lady Susan, is a beautiful, charming widow who has found herself, after the death of her husband, in a position of financial instability and saddled with an unmarried, clumsy and over-sensitive daughter. Faced with the unpalatable prospect of having to spend her widowed life in the countryside, Lady Susan embarks on a serious of manipulative games to ensure she can stay in town with her first passion — the card tables. Scandal inevitably ensues as she negotiates the politics of her late husband’s family, the identity of a mysterious benefactor and a passionate affair with a married man.Accurate and true to Jane Austen’s style, as befits Todd’s position as a leading Austen scholar, this second coming of Lady Susan is as shocking, manipulative and hilarious as when Jane Austen first imagined her.
On Susan Glaspell's Trifles and "A Jury of Her Peers"

On a wharf in Provincetown, Massachusetts, where Greenwich Village bohemians gathered in the summer of 1916, Susan Glaspell was inspired by a sensational murder trial to write Trifles, a play about two women who hide a Midwestern farm wife's motive for murdering her abusive husband. Following successful productions of the play, Glaspell became the "mother of American drama." Her short story version of Trifles, "A Jury of Her Peers," reached an unprecedented one million readers in 1917. The play and the story have since been taught in classrooms across America and Trifles is regularly revived on stages around the world. This collection of fresh essays celebrates the centennial of Trifles and "A Jury of Her Peers," with departures from established Glaspell scholarship. Interviews with theater people are included along with two original works inspired by Glaspell's iconic writings.
