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 letter-writer who has murdered her whole family all feature in these highly spirited pieces. This edition includes all of Austen's juvenilia, including her \"\u003ci\u003eHistory of England\u003c\/i\u003e\" - written by a 'partial, prejudiced and ignorant Historian and the novella \u003ci\u003eLady Susan\u003c\/i\u003e, in which the anti-heroine schemes and cheats her way through high society. With a title that captures a young Austen's original idiosyncratic spelling habits and an introduction by Christine Alexander that shows how Austen was self-consciously fashioning herself as a writer from an early age, this is a must-have for any Austen lover.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/16\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780141395111\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Jane Austen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43067602632885,"sku":"9780141395111","price":15.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_856063de-7993-4a08-b14f-70cd969a4f4a.jpg?v=1690861175","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/love-and-freindship-and-other-youthful-writings-9780141395111","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
