Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-Lady Susan is a brief epistolary novel that Jane Austen wrote in her youth and would be published posthumously. In Lady Susan, Austen uses the epistolary genre to build a novel where the different letters are linked as pieces of a puzzle to complete a story of small intrigues before the reader's eyes. The letters crossed by the different protagonists are describing the events that occur, but also their assessment of them, so that each character is faithfully portrayed by their actions and their ideas. Thus, reading the letters that the characters cross each other, we know how Lady Susan Vernon, a young widow, mother of a married girl, takes refuge in the house of her late husband's brother fleeing the scandal caused by her flirting with a man married.Her relatives receive Mrs. Vernon, who comes preceded by her reputation as a frivolous woman, with prevention; but Susan will try to end her misgivings and will soon be able to conquer Mr. de Courcy, her sister-in-law's brother. In addition, short of fortune, Susan wishes to marry her daughter with a wealthy petimetre that the girl hates, although she intends to hide these plans from her family, which opposes marriages of convenience.
