Jane Austens earliest writing dates from when she was just elevenyearsold, and already shows the hallmarks of her mature work. But it is also a product of the times 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 mothers fingers, and a letterwriter who has murdered her whole family all feature in these highly spirited pieces. This edition includes all of Austens juvenilia, including her History of England – written by a partial, prejudiced and ignorant Historian and the novella Lady Susan, in which the antiheroine schemes and cheats her way through high society. With a title that captures a young Austens original idiosyncratic spelling habits and an introduction by Christine Alexander that shows how Austen was selfconsciously fashioning herself as a writer from an early age, this is a musthave for any Austen lover.
