This full-length study of Lady Susan refutes the long-accepted, unchallenged critical view of the novella put forward by Austen scholars that largely deems the work to be unsatisfactory and marginal. Eschewing the idea that this novella is stylistically regressive, the study argues thatLady Susan was left unfinished for political and commercial reasons.
