Lady Susan is a short epistolary novel by Jane Austen, perhaps written in 1794 but not distributed until 1871.

This early complete work, which the creator never submitted for distribution, depicts the plans of the title character.

Lady Susan Vernon, a lovely and enchanting ongoing widow, visits her brother-in-law (late spouse's sibling) and sister-in-law, Charles and Catherine Vernon, with minimal notification ahead of time at Churchill, their nation home.

Lady Susan plays with the young man's warm gestures for her entertainment and later because she sees it, makes her sister-in-law uncomfortable.

Her friend, Mrs. Johnson, to whom she composes now and again, suggests she wed the truly qualified Reginald, yet Lady Susan believes him to be incredibly substandard compared to Manwaring.

Afterward, Sir James Martin, Frederica's undesirable admirer, appears excluded, causing her a deep sense of pain and her mom's vexation.

Lady Susan chooses to get back to London and wed her little girl off to Sir James.

Reginald follows, still beguiled by her charms and purpose of getting married to her, yet he experiences Mrs. Manwaring at the home of Mr. Johnson and lastly learns how Lady Susan is an actual person.
