Love and Friendship and Other Early Works - 9781444631012

A wonderful collection of early works by Jane Austen, including the titular Love and Friendship; a biting satire of the romance and sensibility novels popular in her day.

Penned when she was just 14 years old, these texts includes all of Austen's original spelling quirks. Although written for the enjoyment of family and friends, her witty dialogue and characteristic sense of humour are very much there.

This volume also includes:

An Unfinished Novel in Letters,

The History of England,

A Collection of Letters,

and many others...

These delightful and often humorous pieces showcase Austen's budding talent for character development, social commentary, and sharp wit. From playful parodies to insightful observations, this compilation offers a fascinating glimpse into the early creative mind of one of literature's most beloved authors.
