"Jane Austen's brilliantly sophisticated teenage writings constitute her beginnings as a writer. We see in the works in this volume the sheer fun of her early sketches and their ridicule of human foibles, her parody of the absurdities of romance and sentimental fiction, her decision-making over choice of word and incident, her changing attitude towards character and style, and especially her early fascination with wordplay and hidden meanings that reveal her sprightly imagination."
—From the Introduction
From an authoress who has been held in high esteem by many of the great writers and intellectuals of the past two centuries, Jane Austen's early writings are a must-have for collectors and adoring readers alike.
