JANE AUSTEN'S JUVENILIA

Jane Austen wrote throughout her teens for the entertainment of her family. Her early works, which she recorded in three notebooks, are youthful and unrestrained (and often unfinished), and poke fun at established literary and social conventions.

Volume the First:
(Written between 1787 and 1790; most are brief tales or plays)

Frederic and Elfrida
Jack and Alice
Edgar & Emma
Henry and Eliza
The Adventures of Mr. Harly, Sir William Montague, and Mr. Clifford
The Beautifull Cassandra (sic)
Amelia Webster
The Visit—a short play
The Mystery: An Unfinished Play
The Three Sisters
Ode to Pity

Volume the Second:
(Written between 1790 and 1792; most are epistolary tales—brief novelettes in letters)

Love and Freindship (sic; the misspelling of "friendship" in the title is famous)

The History of England
(a parody of the history books Jane read as a child)
A Collection of Letters
