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. In contrast, The Watsons is a delightful fragment, whose spirited heroine Emma Watson finds her marriage opportunities limited by poverty and pride. The early epistolary novel Lady Susan depicts an unscrupulous coquette, toying with the affections of several men. 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. ![]() 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. ![]() |
