Jane Austen

Lady Susan är en underhållande brevroman och ett av Jane Austens tidiga verk, skriven 1793 94, men utgiven postumt. I brev som skickas mellan romanens karaktärer får vi följa änkan Susan Vernons försök att skaffa både sig själv och sin dotter ett gott parti. Susan är inte bara bedövande vacker utan också intelligent och kvick. Men där slutar likheterna med den typiska hjältinnekaraktären. I breven tecknas ett porträtt av en självisk, hänsynslös och manipulativ kvinna som spelar ett cyniskt och slugt spel med männen i sin omgivning. Lady Susan sticker ut bland Jane Austens verk, bland annat i det att Susans omoraliska beteende inte straffas lika hårt som liknande handlingar gör i Austens övriga böcker. JANE AUSTEN (1775 1817) föddes i Hampshire som det sjunde barnet av åtta. Hennes pappa, som var kyrkoherde, uppmuntrade sina döttrar att läsa och Austen började tidigt skriva. Hennes första publicerade roman var Förnuft och känsla (originaltitel: Sense and sensibility) som gavs ut 1811. Austens romaner utspelar sig i den brittiska aristokratin och innehåller ofta undertoner av kritik mot överklassens sociala konventioner vilka hämmade främst kvinnor att finna kärlek och lycka. Austen dog av sjukdom i juli 1817.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Perhaps the most ironic and fun novel by Jane Austen, the unrivaled master of comedy of manners. Translation by Isabel Oyarz bal Introduction by Marilyn Butler, professor at the universities of Cambridge and Oxford. Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey, originally published posthumously in 1818, is the story of seventeen-year-old Catherine Morland, one of ten children of a country clergyman, whose wild imagination and excessive fondness for Gothic novels (especially Ann Radcliffe's Mysteries of Udolpho) has skewed her worldview and interactions with others to great comic effect. Catherine leaves her sheltered, rural home to enter the busy, sophisticated world of Bath in the late 1790s. Austen observes with insight and humor the interactions between Catherine and the various characters she meets and tracks her growing understanding of the world around her. In her first full-length novel, Austen fixes her sharp, ironic gaze on other kinds of contemporary novels, especially the Gothic school made famous by Ann Radcliffe. Catherine's reading becomes intertwined with her social and romantic adventures, adding to the uncertainties and embarrassments she must undergo before finding happiness.
