“My dear Alicia, of what a mistake were you guilty in marrying a man of his age! Just old enough to be formal, ungovernable, and to have the gout; too old to be agreeable, too young to die.”

 

Written by Jane Austen in the mid 1790s, Lady Susan is a short epistolary novel, and is a fascinating addition to Austen’s body of work.
