About this book

The entertaining and funny pieces compiled in Juvenilia were penned by Jane Austen in her youth. With few in epistolary form, most of these pieces are short fictions and humorous while some are darker and contain more serious content. Apart from a tantalizing and colourful array of escapades, the work also presents some characters that later appear in novels of her mature years. Most famous pieces are History of England, Love and Freindship, The Beautifull Cassandra and Memoirs of Mr. Clifford.

Quotes by Jane Austen

From Wikiquote

Here I am once more in this scene of dissipation and vice, and I begin already to find my morals corrupted.
What dreadful hot weather we have! It keeps one in a continual state of inelegance.
Next week I shall begin my operations on my hat, on which you know my principal hopes of happiness depend.
