Lady Susan, The Watsons, and Sanditon: Unfinished Fictions and Other Writings by

Description: Lady Susan, The Watsons, and Sanditon by Jane Austen, Kathryn Sutherland The unfinished fictions collected here are the novels and other writing that Jane Austen did not publish, including works such as Lady Susan, The Watsons, and Sanditon. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description I am tired of submitting my will to the caprices of others-of resigning my own judgement in deference to those to whom I owe no duty, and for whom I feel no respect.The unfinished fictions collected here are the novels and other writing that Jane Austen did not publish. The protagonist of the earliest story is Lady Susan, a sexual predator and a brilliant and manipulative sociopath. The Watsons, a tale of riches torags, is set in a village deep in mud and misery where the Watson sisters waste away, day after dull day, waiting for the suitors who never appear. Sanditon, the novel interrupted by the authors death, is a topical satire onthe niche marketing campaign waged by investors in the latest seaside resort, the fictional Sanditon, situated on Englands over-supplied south coast. If The Watsons shares the disturbed life of a Chekhov short story, Sanditons cast of eccentrics anticipates the zany world of Dickens. Experimental and sharp-elbowed, all three probe new areas of invention and push out beyond what we expect to find in a novel by Jane Austen. This edition collectstogether all Austens unpublished adult fiction, poetry, and related writings, written in her late teens, in her late twenties, and in the year she died, aged forty-one. They contribute more than a dash of discomfort to ourmodern image of the romantic novelist and reveal Jane Austens development as a writer.
