Lady Susan seeks a new husband for herself and one for her daughter. But Lady Susan is a selfish, unscrupulous and scheming woman, highly attractive to men, who tries to trap the best possible husband while maintaining a relationship with a married man.

Her realism, biting irony and social commentary as well as her acclaimed plots have gained her historical importance among scholars and critics. Less
