About the book

Jane Austen's shorter works reveal the wit and satirical intelligence that would later define her six major novels. Her juvenilia and unfinished fiction parody sentimental romance, fashionable manners and literary convention while experimenting with character, dialogue and narrative voice. These pieces offer a lively view of Austen's development as a writer and her early fascination with courtship, family, social status and self-deception.
