Collecting three lesser-known works by one of the nineteenth century's greatest authors, Jane Austen's Lady Susan, The Watsons and Sanditon is edited with an introduction by Margaret Drabble in Penguin Classics.
These three short works show Austen experimenting with a variety of different literary styles, from melodrama to satire, and exploring a range of social classes and settings. The early epistolary novel Lady Susan depicts an unscrupulous coquette, toying with the affections of several men. In contrast, The Watsons is a delightful fragment, whose spirited heroine Emma Watson finds her marriage opportunities limited by poverty and pride. Written in the last months of Austen's life, the uncompleted novel Sanditon , set in a newly established seaside resort, offers a glorious cast of hypochondriacs and speculators, and shows an author contemplating a the great social upheavals of the Industrial Revolution with a mixture of scepticism and amusement.
Margaret Drabble's introduction examines these three works in the context of Jane Austen's major novels and her life, and discusses the social background of her fiction. This edition features a new chronology.
Jane Austen (1775-1817) was extremely modest about her own genius but has become one of English literature's most famous women writers. Austen began writing at a young age, embarking on what is possibly her best-known work, Pride and Prejudice , at the age of 22. She was also the author of Sense and Sensibility , Persuasion , Northanger Abbey and Mansfield Park .
If you enjoyed Lady Susan, The Watsons and Sanditon , you may like Charlotte Brontë's Tales of Angria , also available in Penguin Classics.
'In [ Sanditon ] she exploits her greatest gifts, her management of dialogue and her skill with monologue. The book feels open and modern ... as vigorous and inventive as her earlier work'

Jane Austen; Edited with an Introduction by Margaret Drabble
Jane Austen, gemalt von ihrer Schwester Cassandra, Ausschnitt
„Lady Susan“
von Jane Austen
Wer ist nun eigentlich schuld, wenn eine Intrige erfolgreich ist, die Intrigantin oder das Opfer? Dieser kleine „Roman in Briefen“, den Jane Austen mit zwanzig schrieb und nie zur Veröffentlichung bestimmte, macht vom ersten Satz an deutlich, dass die eigentliche Frage ist, wer das gesellschaftliche Doppelspiel am besten beherrscht und wie lustvoll er das tut: „Mein lieber Bruder“, schreibt Lady Susan an Mr. Vernon, „länger kann ich mir nicht das Vergnügen versagen, Deiner bei unserem letzten Abschied ausgesprochenen Einladung Folge zu leisten und einige Wochen bei Euch in Churchill zu verbringen.“ Ja, Lady Susan sucht ein Unterkommen, einen neuen Mann, einen für ihre Tochter, sie reißt dafür Ehen auseinander und treibt junge Männer zur Verzweiflung. Der Film, den der Amerikaner Whit Stillman nach dem Roman drehte, ist großartig, aber den Windungen von Austens eleganter Ironie im Buch sollte man sich nicht versagen. Einen Verlierer gibt es am Ende: „Zum großen Leidwesen der Postfinanzverwaltung konnte dieser Briefwechsel nicht weiter fortgesetzt werden, da einige der Beteiligten sich persönlich trafen und die Wege der anderen sich trennten.“ FRITZ GÖTTLER
