Love lost and found—and the complex relationships
between women, men, and money in Regency England
Jane Austen's novella Lady Susan was written during the same period as another novella called Elinor and Marianne—which later became Sense and Sensibility. Unfortunately, Lady Susan did not enjoy the same treatment by its author and was left forgotten by all but the most diligent Austen scholars. Until now.
