"LADY SUSAN," MISSING MASTERPIECE BY JANE AUSTEN
Beloved English novelist Jane Austen treasured her manuscript of 'Lady Susan,' though it was forgotten by all and almost never saw the light of day. What was she thinking when she wrote a clever novel of adultery, cruelty and betrayal that might have damaged her reputation? Why do scholars today dismiss 'Lady Susan' as a minor work of little interest? And what does the tale and its characters reveal about the Author that everyone is so anxious to keep quiet? Award winning documentary exploring the literary destiny and merit of Jane Austen's least known and most controversial work.
