{"product_id":"2940169621587","title":"Lady Susan","description":"Written in the then fashionable style form of letters between the characters in the book, Jane Austen tells the story of the beautiful widow Lady Susan. Lady Susan has an eye toward re-marrying well, and marrying off her teenage daughter. To achieve her objectives, she spins a tale of Victorian humor and manipulation. In the end, she outsmarts even herself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJane Austen¿s earliest known serious work, Lady Susan is a short, epistolary novel that portrays a woman bent on the exercise of her own powerful mind and personality to the point of social self-destruction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLady Susan, a clever and ruthless widow, determines that her daughter is going to marry a man whom both detest. She sets her own sights on her sister-in-law¿s brother, all the while keeping an old affair simmering on the back burner. But people refuse to play the roles assigned them. In the end, her daughter gets the sister-in-law¿s brother, the old affair runs out of steam, and all that is left for Lady Susan is the man intended for her daughter, whom neither can abide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTold through a series of letters between the characters, the work concludes abruptly with the comment: ¿this correspondence¿could not, to the great detriment of the Post Office revenue, be continued any longer.¿\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Letters:\u003cbr\u003eLetter 01: Lady Susan Vernon to Mr. Vernon\u003cbr\u003eLetter 02: Lady Susan Vernon to Mrs. Johnson\u003cbr\u003eLetter 03: Lady Susan Vernon to Lady de Courcy\u003cbr\u003eLetter 04: Mr. de Courcy to Mrs. Vernon\u003cbr\u003eLetter 05: Lady Susan Vernon to Mrs. Johnson\u003cbr\u003eLetter 06: Mrs. Vernon to Mr. de Courcy\u003cbr\u003eLetter 07: Lady Susan Vernon to Mrs. Johnson\u003cbr\u003eLetter 08: Mrs. Vernon to Lady de Courcy\u003cbr\u003eLetter 09: Mrs. Johnson to Lady Susan Vernon\u003cbr\u003eLetter 10: Lady Susan Vernon to Mrs. Johnson\u003cbr\u003eLetter 11: Mrs. Vernon to Lady de Courcy\u003cbr\u003eLetter 12: Sir Reginald de Courcy to His Son\u003cbr\u003eLetter 13: Lady de Courcy to Mrs. Vernon\u003cbr\u003eLetter 14: Mr. de Courcy to Sir Reginald\u003cbr\u003eLetter 15: Mrs. Vernon to Lady de Courcy\u003cbr\u003eLetter 16: Lady Susan Vernon to Mrs. Johnson\u003cbr\u003eLetter 17: Mrs. Vernon to Lady de Courcy\u003cbr\u003eLetter 18: From the Same to the Same\u003cbr\u003eLetter 19: Lady Susan Vernon to Mrs. Johnson\u003cbr\u003eLetter 20: Mrs. Vernon to Lady de Courcy\u003cbr\u003eLetter 21: Miss Vernon to Mr. de Courcy\u003cbr\u003eLetter 22: Lady Susan Vernon to Mrs. Johnson\u003cbr\u003eLetter 23: Mrs. Vernon to Lady de Courcy\u003cbr\u003eLetter 24: From the Same to the Same\u003cbr\u003eLetter 25: Lady Susan Vernon to Mrs. Johnson\u003cbr\u003eLetter 26: Mrs. Johnson to Lady Susan Vernon\u003cbr\u003eLetter 27: Mrs. Vernon to Lady de Courcy\u003cbr\u003eLetter 28: Mrs. Johnson to Lady Susan Vernon\u003cbr\u003eLetter 29: Lady Susan Vernon to Mrs. Johnson\u003cbr\u003eLetter 30: Lady Susan Vernon to Mr. de Courcy\u003cbr\u003eLetter 31: Lady Susan Vernon to Mrs. Johnson\u003cbr\u003eLetter 32: Mrs. Johnson to Lady Susan Vernon\u003cbr\u003eLetter 33: Lady Susan Vernon to Mrs. Johnson\u003cbr\u003eLetter 34: Mr. de Courcy to Lady Susan Vernon\u003cbr\u003eLetter 35: Lady Susan Vernon to Mr. de Courcy\u003cbr\u003eLetter 36: Mr. de Courcy to Lady Susan Vernon\u003cbr\u003eLetter 37: Lady Susan Vernon to Mr. de Courcy\u003cbr\u003eLetter 38: Mrs. Johnson to Lady Susan Vernon\u003cbr\u003eLetter 39: Lady Susan Vernon to Mrs. Johnson\u003cbr\u003eLetter 40: Lady de Courcy to Mrs. Vernon\u003cbr\u003eLetter 41: Mrs. Vernon to Lady de Courcy\u003cbr\u003eConclusion","brand":"Mark Boyd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47161632096496,"sku":"2940169621587","price":4.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169621587_p0.jpg?v=1763689399","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169621587","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
