Synopsis "Lady Susan (in Spanish)"

Esta breve novela epistolar fue escrita tempranamente y publicada recién en 1871 de forma póstuma. Las cuarenta y una cartas que la componen van armando, a modo de un rompecabezas, una historia de intrigas y enredos, al tiempo que nos ofrecen un retrato de la moral de la época y, en consecuencia, del carácter amoral de su protagonista, Lady Susan.

Lady Susan Vernon, reciente viuda, es una mujer hermosa e inteligente, a la vez que egoísta y ambiciosa. Sus planes no sólo incluyen un nuevo casamiento ventajoso para ella misma, sino también un pretendiente adinerado para su hija de dieciséis años, un hombre al que la joven detesta. A través de ingeniosos manejos, hará todo lo que está a su alcance para lograrlo, sin importarle ni las opiniones ni los deseos de quienes la rodean: su hija, su familia o su círculo social.

She was a British novelist who lived during the Georgian era. She was born in the rectory of Steventon (Hampshire). Her family belonged to the British gentry (rural nobility or agrarian bourgeoisie), a context she never left and in which she set all her works, always revolving around the marriage of her protagonist.

She has been portrayed in cinema on numerous occasions, sometimes faithfully reproduced, like the 1940 classic Pride and Prejudice directed by Robert Z. Leonard and starring Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier, and other times adapted to modern times, as is the case with Clueless, a loose adaptation of Emma. Other versions include Sense and Sensibility from 1995; Mansfield Park from 2000; and Pride and Prejudice in 2004 (directed by Gurinder Chadha) and in 2005 (directed by Joe Wright). However, the most faithful and perfect version of the book Pride and Prejudice to date is the series presented by the BBC starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. The interest that Jane Austen's work continues to arouse today shows the relevance of her thought and the influence she has had on subsequent literature. Her life has also been portrayed in film with the movie Becoming Jane (2007)
