Lady Susan is a selfish woman, who maintains several flirts, a tyrannical mother who seeks a rich husband for her sixteen-year-old daughter, Frederica, with whom she has bad relationships; She also considers a husband for herself, but lives very well while waiting for her life as a seductress free of any engagement. The novel is composed of forty-one letters, mainly correspondence of Lady Susan with her friend Mrs Alicia Johnson, and Mrs Vernon (wife of her brother-in-law, n e Catherine de Courcy) with her mother, Lady de Courcy, who hates Deeply Lady Susan. Plus a few letters from other characters, like R ginald de Courcy to Lady Susan. At the beginning of the story, Lady Susan is in Langford, Manwaring, and she has an affair with Mr Manwaring. |
