Lady Susan (1793-94), skriven under Jane Austens unga år, är en underhållande brevroman med rötter i 1700-talets värld. Genom brev som utväxlas mellan romanens karaktärer, målas upp en bild av den vackra änkan Susan Vernon och hennes försök att skaffa både sig själv och sin dotter ett gott parti. Temat är alltså detsamma som i Austens senare romaner, och karaktärsstudier och moraliska frågor är i fokus också här, men i övrigt saknas det gemensamma nämnare med Austen senare verk.
