So, my first impressions. This was a re-read for me, but I do remember my first encounter with Lady Susan. I was startled by her because she was unlike Austen's other novels. I enjoy epistolary format once in a while, but it does have its limitations, too. I would have loved to have gotten inside the head of a few of the characters more. Lady Susan as a person is actually appealing to me. I think she is deliciously selfish. Her situation as a widow under reduced circumstances would be pitiable if she weren't so resilient and strong in her own way. Plus, she acts against other people always to suit herself and sometimes out of spite.<br />I am in the camp of folks who thinks Austen has a 'Lady Susan' in her general circle of acquaintance. I've been told one of her own older relations was much like Lady Susan.<br />I also see a bit of the later written Mary Crawford in her though Mary is no where near the extreme of Susan.<br /><br />Great story!<br />Sophia Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07909417504496472472noreply@blogger.com
