Produktbeskrivning

Jane Austen''s brilliant, hilarious - and often outrageous - early stories, sketches and pieces of nonsense.

Jane Austen''s earliest writing dates from when she was just eleven years, and already shows the hallmarks of her mature work: wit, acute insight into human folly, and a preoccupation with manners, morals and moneyBut it is also a product of the eighteenth century in which she grew up - dark, grotesque, often surprisingly bawdy, and a far cry from the polished, sparkling novels of manners for which she became famous. Drunken heroines, babies who bite off their mother''s fingers, and a letter-writer who has murdered her whole family all feature in these very funny pieces.

This edition includes all of Austen''s juvenilia, including her ''History of England'' - written by ''a partial, prejudiced, and ignorant Historian'' - and the novella ''Lady Susan'', in which the anti-heroine schemes and cheats her way through high society. Taken together, they offer a fascinating - and often surprising - insight into the early Austen.

This major new edition is the first time Austen''s juvenilia has appeared in Penguin ClassicsEdited by Professor Christine Alexander, it includes an introduction, notes and other useful editorial materials.

Jane Austen, born in 1775, wrote many burlesques, parodies and other stories in her youth, including a short epistolary novel, Lady Susan.

Austen died in Winchester on 18 July 1817.

''Spirited, easy, full of fun, verging with freedom upon sheer nonsense ... At fifteen she had few illusions about other people and none about herself'' - Virginia Woolf''

[Her] inspiration was the inspiration of Gargantua and of Pickwick; it was the gigantic inspiration of laughter'' - GK. Chesterton
