Short Fiction Austen, Jane: Jane Austen's Minor Works. v3. 29th Aug 2009

[HarryT]

A collection of all the minor "odds and ends" that Jane Austen wrote other than her six novels, which have been posted already. Much of this material was written when she was a teenager for the amusement of friends and family, and a lot of it is wickedly satirical - great fun to read. There's also several sections of unfinished novels, plays, poems, and all sorts of other things. If anyone is aware of anything of Austen's that's not included here, please let me know and I'll add it.

The book currently includes the following:

- Lady Susan
- Love and Freindship
- Frederic & Elfrida
- Jack & Alice
- The Three Sisters
- Lesley Castle
- The Watsons
- Sanditon
- The Plan of a Novel
- The Beautifull Cassandra
- Amelia Webster
- The Visit
- The Adventures of Mr. Harley
- Detached Pieces
- The History of England
- A Collection of Letters
- Scraps
- Evelyn
- Light Verse

NB: There's some pretty dire spelling in this book ("Freindship", "Beautifull", for example, in the above list). That is the way the originals are and I've preserved it; spelling was not the young Jane Austen's strong point, it appears!

Enjoy!

EDIT: 8 Mar 08

The previous version contained only chapters 7 and 8 of Austen's unfinished last novel, Sanditon. She completed the first twelve chapters of it before her death; the remaining chapters have now been added to this volume. Uploaded v2.

EDIT: 13 Mar 08

Patricia has very kindly proof-read "Sanditon" against a printed version and made numerous corrections which dramatically improve it. Uploaded v3.
