The early epistolary novel \u003ci\u003eLady Susan\u003c\/i\u003e depicts an unscrupulous coquette, toying with the affections of several men. In contrast, \u003ci\u003e The Watsons\u003c\/i\u003e is a delightful fragment, whose spirited heroine -­ Emma -­ finds her marriage opportunities limited by poverty and pride. Meanwhile \u003ci\u003eSanditon, \u003c\/i\u003e set in a seaside resort, offers a glorious cast of hypochondriacs and spectators, treated by Austen with both amusement and scepticism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
