With three vital and less familiar works by one of the most important novelists in the English language, this book is a must-have for Austen fans. Those who tell their own story, you know, must be listened to with caution.When young Charlotte Heywood arrives in the seaside resort of Sanditon. And The Watsons is a delightful fragment, whose spirited heroine, Emma, finds her marriage opportunities restricted by poverty and pride.
In January 1817, Austen began work on a new novel she called The Brothers, later titled Sanditon, and completed eleven chapters before stopping work in mid-March 1817, probably because of illness. The early epistolary novel Lady Susan depicts an unscrupulous coquette, toying with several men. Sanditon (1817) is an unfinished novel by the English writer Jane Austen. This volume includes Sanditon, as well as two other lesser-known works, Lady Susan and The Watsons. Sandition and Other Stories includes Jane Austens unfinished work Sandition as well as The Watsons (another uncompleted work), the novella Lady Susan. Though unfinished at the time of her death, it is a key work for readers of Jane Austen, and all the moreso with a major upcoming TV adaptation. In the story of Charlotte Heywood, a new arrival, Austen she contemplated a changing society with a mixture of skepticism and amusement, and notably crafted her only character of color in the mixed-race heiress Miss Lambe. In the final months of Jane Austen’s life, she began work on a new novel about social drama in the small seaside town of Sanditon, once a small fishing village and now a bustling spa town.
In time for the highly-awaited TV series, a new edition of Jane Austen’s delightful final work, set in a newly established seaside resort with a glorious cast of hypochondriacs and speculators
