In this collection of writings by Jane Austen and her nephew James Edward Austen-Leigh, readers are treated to two of Austen's lesser-known works. Lady Susan, a epistolary novel about a widow's charming but unscrupulous attempts to secure a husband for herself and her daughter, offers a glimpse into Austen's wit and biting social commentary. The Watsons, meanwhile, is a unfinished novel that explores the lives of four sisters in a genteel but impoverished family. James Edward Austen-Leigh's memoir of his aunt, which takes up the remainder of the book, adds a personal and heartfelt dimension to readers' understanding of Jane Austen's life and work. This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Excerpt from Lady Susan, And, the Watsons: With a Memoir by the Nephew J. E. Austen Leigh I have lately received permission to print the following tale from the author's niece, Lady Knatchbull, of Provender, in Kent, to whom the autograph copy was given. I am not able to as certain when it was composed. Her family have always believed it to be an early production. Perhaps she wrote it as an experiment in conduct ing a story by means of letters. It was not, how ever, her only attempt oi that kind; for Sense and Sensibility was first written in letters; but as she afterwards re-wrote one of these works and never published the other, it is probable that she was not quite satisfied with the result. The tale itself is scarcely one on which a literary reputation could have been founded: but though, like some plants, it may be too slight to stand alone, it may, perhaps, be supported by the strength of her more firmly rooted works. At any rate, it cannot di minish Jane Austen's reputation as a writer; for even if it should be judged unworthy of the pub licity now given to it, the censure must fall on him who has put it forth, not on her who kept it locked up in her desk.

When James Edward Austen-Leigh's Memoir of his famous aunt was published in 1870, far from satisfying public curiosity about Jane Austen as the family had intended, it simply raised a series of new questions, particularly about Jane Austen's unpublished work, which had been mentioned only in passing. Austen Leigh was persuaded to issue a much-expanded second edition in 1871. Here he included for the first time the complete texts of Jane Austen's novel in letters, Lady Susan, and the fragmentary novel The Watsons, as well as a brief summary of her last unfinished work, later known as Sanditon. At the same time he took the opportunity to revise the biographical sections of the Memoir partly to include new information that had come to light since the first edition, so that all in all the second edition has a significance for Austen scholars quite separate from the first.
