Description
Austen's lesser-known works come together in this Penguin Classics edition. Lady Susan, The Watsons, and Sanditon showcase Austen's experimentation with different literary styles and social settings.
These three short stories offer a glimpse into Austen's range: the unscrupulous coquette of Lady Susan, the spirited heroine of The Watsons, and the hypochondriacs of Sanditon. Each provides a unique perspective on love, class, and society in 19th-century England.
Published for over seventy years, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. This edition features authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes from distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
