The victim of a vicious scandal, the impoverished Lady Susan is obliged to take up residence with her brother-in-law and his family. Refusing to resign herself to the role of placid house guest, she conspires to baffle her hosts, seducing her sister-in-law's brother in the process by means of her impeccable gentility and some well-judged flirtation. Yet before her victory is complete, she must first contend with the untimely appearance of a former lover. Inspired by Les Liaisons Dangereuses, and written in a similar epistolary form, Lady Susan is one of Jane Austen's earliest finished works (written around 1794). In it, she reveals all the caustic wit and brilliant social satire of her later novellas.

Lady Susan is the only full novel written by Jane Austen that was not published in her lifetime. Composed in the epistolary form that was popular at the time, the novel is a series of letters primarily between Lady Susan, Mrs Vernon, Mrs Vernon's mother (Lady de Courcy), Lady Susan and Mrs Johnson. The central character is remarkable in Austenian terms as she has nearly no redeeming features. A gorgeous, clever and witty woman, Lady Susan uses her talents for thoroughly selfish ends as she scrupulously scours society searching for "appropriate" husbands for herself and for her daughter.

Lady Susan by Jane Austen. Lady Susan is a short epistolary novel by Jane Austen, possibly written in 1794 but not published until 1871. This early complete work, which the author never submitted for publication, describes the schemes of the title character. Lady Susan Vernon, a beautiful and charming recent widow, visits her brother- and sister-in-law, Charles and Catherine Vernon, with little advance notice at Churchill, their country residence. Catherine is far from pleased, as Lady Susan had tried to prevent her marriage to Charles and her unwanted guest has been described to her as "the most accomplished coquette in England". Among Lady Susan's conquests in London is the married Mr. Mainwaring. Catherine's brother Reginald arrives a week later, and despite Catherine's strong warnings about Lady Susan's character, soon falls under her spell. Lady Susan toys with the younger man's affections for her own amusement and later because she perceives it makes her sister-in-law uneasy. Her confidante, Mrs. Johnson, to whom she writes frequently, recommends she marry the very eligible Reginald, but Lady Susan considers him to be greatly inferior to Mainwaring.

Dear Susan... don't drink and decorate... (a blueprint for the NHS?)

This personal memoir attempts to set out a blueprint for new NHS hospitals, alongside a commentary about a recent experience as a Trauma inpatient and outpatient in a large failing London teaching hospital which highlighted some of the difficulties and frustrations facing patients. This took place during the NHS's struggle with the Covid pandemic. The buildings and facilities within which patients are treated and staff have to work are so important to the wellbeing and successful outcomes for all concerned, but are too often ignored. This book suggests a hospital building-led strategy to restore trust and to tackle the need for improvements for patients and staff. This approach was tried before between 1970 and 1995. Then it was possible to show how new hospital buildings could promote change and innovation. Now is the time to try this again as the climate for change feels similar to that of the 1970s. A political will to sort out the NHS is essential. The NHS and its staff are in desperate need for action to deal with the backlog post- Covid. The book includes personal records covering the time spent as an inpatient and the long road to recovery, using WhatsApp messages, emails, letters and commentary. Alongside this is a description of a fantasy concept for smaller hospitals to provide a post Covid blueprint to help reduce the number of people waiting on the NHS for a surgical or medical procedure. It provides an insight into subsequent efforts to engage with "the powers that be" to improve the experience for future patients.

This sequel is a personal attempt to develop further a blue-print for new dedicated smaller NHS hospitals, using illustrations to show how these might look. The buildings and facilities within which patients are treated and staff have to work are so important to the well being and successful outcomes but are too often ignored. This paperback encloses a kind of review (a complaint really) about what happened following publication of the first "Dear Susan..." and what did not happen. It shows how its target audience, including some people in a position of power, are simply able to ignore a possible blue-print for the NHS when there is a scarcity of blue-prints. In taking a second chance at making the case for smaller hospitals, plans are used to show how the NHS might be provided with a rapidly built new generation of trauma and elective care centres. These should sidestep what has gone on before and is going on now to inappropriately transform larger, failing, older hospitals which are in the wrong place or to provide new large hospitals that are not fit for purpose post-Covid. The author is hoping that there is some-one out there savvy enough to want to try to build a brighter and better future and renew confidence in our really hard done by NHS.

Following Lord Darzi's independent investigation of the NHS in England (published in September 2024) the author is convinced that this third Dear Susan... paperback is relevant to decisions about to be taken by the Government to inform its ten-year health plan - promised for the spring of 2025.'Lord D....' set the cat amongst the pigeons by pointing out the challenges facing the NHS. It is now time to deal with those "crumbling buildings" ' his investigation complains about by quickly sorting out the state of the NHS Estate in a planned and comprehensive way.The intention is to show how the NHS might be provided with a rapidly built new generation of smaller hospitals starting with those for trauma care and elective care. These "machines for healing" could assist the NHS in facing up to its preventable crisis by adopting a new smaller hospitals buildings-led initiative. These smaller hospitals might come alongside failing hospitals needing life-support. Or, be more sensibly located away from an existing hospital for a fresh start and a new kind of health care provision - to re engage staff, restore trust and to help achieve better outcomes for all patients.This third paperback of a Dear Susan... trilogy introduces and explains a series of uncomplicated coloured architectual plans. It is an all singing and dancing psychedelic version of the previous two and really is the author's final fling! He is hoping that this might complete his story for his non-responsive target audience - and prove to be third time lucky!'Lord D....' is the only one making any sense - so perhaps he might also consider how this paperback could be used to throw a life line to the NHS by backing the building of a few smaller hospitals quickly - for starters.

Lady Susan and Other Works

Wordsworth Editions Ltd

With an Introduction, explanatory notes, and annotated bibliography by Nicholas Seager. This collection brings together Jane Austen’s earliest experiments in the art of fiction and novels that she left incomplete at the time of her premature death in 1817. Her fragmentary juvenilia show Austen developing her own sense of narrative form whilst parodying popular kinds of fiction of her day. Lady Susan is a wickedly funny epistolary novel about a captivating but unscrupulous widow seeking to snare husbands for her daughter and herself. The Watsons explores themes of family relationships, the marriage market, and attitudes to rank, which became the hallmarks of her major novels. In Sanditon, Austen exercises her acute powers of social observation in the setting of a newly fashionable seaside resort. These novels are here joined by shorter fictions that survive in Austen’s manuscripts, including critically acclaimed works like Catharine, Love and Freindship [sic], and The History of England.

The epistolary novel Lady Susan is the darkly humorous tale of the amatory schemes and machinations of an ambitious and unprincipled coquette. The Watsons is the story of the refined and well-educated Emma Watson, forced by the second marriage of her aunt to return to the house of her impecunious father and face the marital plots and intrigues of her sisters. Begun by the author in the last few months of her life, Sanditon, set in a fast-growing former fi shing village, swiftly becoming a fashionable resort, pokes fun at the inhabitants of the new coastal town, with all their hypochondria, witlessness and self-obsession.

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.

Lady Susan Vernon is a calculating coquette, encouraging the attentions of several men at once; but this time she goes too far and has to accept the fate that she has prepared for her own daughter. Emma Watson returns from Ireland to rural Surrey, denied the inheritance that she has been brought up to expect and facing a future of the genteel poverty that Jane Austen herself knew well. Austen may have abandoned The Watsons for that very reason; it may have been a little too close to home. Will her Emma do better? We shall never know. In Sanditon Jane Austen struck out in an entirely new direction, taking a wry look at a developing seaside resort on the Sussex coast populated by a colourful cast of hypochondriacs and speculators. Sadly, she died before she could complete it.If you have ever expected Jane Austen's novels to be difficult to read, the Line Clear Edition is the one for you. Here are Jane Austen's stories in Jane Austen's words, made approachable by clear type and a clear layout, modern spelling and modern typography. The innovative chapter titles and contents list, derived from the text, will quickly guide the familiar reader back to favourite passages.The cover image is taken from a Cassini Old Series map, using mapping first published by the Ordnance Survey in 1813 (while Jane Austen was still writing), and is reproduced by kind permission of Cassini Publishing Ltd. The front cover is centred on Eastbourne in Sussex. Austen tells us that Sanditon is 'one complete, measured mile' nearer to London than is Eastbourne. Another of the places mentioned in the story is Willingden; it may be significant that 'Willingdon Mill' appears on the map only about two miles northwest of Eastbourne.
