This book is annotated. It includes:*A biography about the life and times of the author*A Plot summary / overviewFrom the age of eleven until she was eighteen, Jane Austen wrote her tales in three notebooks. The notebooks still exist – one in the Bodleian Library; the other two in the British Museum. They include among others Love and Freindship, written when Jane was fourteen, and The History of England, when she was fifteen.Written in epistolary form, like her later unpublished novella, Lady Susan, Love and Freindship is thought to be one of the tales she wrote for the amusement of her family. The installments, written as letters from the heroine Laura, to Marianne, the daughter of her friend, Isabel, "La Comtesse de Feuillide", may have come about as nightly readings by the young Jane in the Austen home. Love and Freindship (the misspelling is one of many in the story) is clearly a parody of romantic novels Austen read as a child. This is clear even from the subtitle, "Deceived in Freindship and Betrayed in Love", which completely undercuts the title.In form, it resembles a fairy tale as much as anything else, featuring wild coincidences and turns of fortune, but Austen is determined to lampoon the conventions of romantic stories, right down to the utter failure of romantic fainting spells, which always turn out badly for the female characters.

NOW THE BASIS OF AN ACCLAIMED FILMJane Austen’s early works, Love & Friendship and Lady Susan are very funny, in fact, they are a real hoot.They were produced by a teenage Austen and the exuberance shines through. Both of the titles are epistolary books (written as letters) and were probably designed to be read out loud to Jane’s family. Can you imagine that? Sat in the parlour, perhaps with a nice glass of port, as the young Jane Austen declaimed her early writings.Both Love & Friendship and Lady Susan are merciless lampoons on the romantic melodramas of the day and there’s very much of a modern sensibility. These could be the escapades of Valley Girls and their consorts. The Regency period has never looked quite so 21st Century as in these two works.It’s little surprise that Whit Stillman has made a fine film (2016) with his adaptation of Lady Susan – although the film is nevertheless titled Love & Friendship. The wit sparkles throughout the books and translates brilliantly to the screen. This is a specially designed and typeset ebook edition aimed at ensuring a Great Reader Experience and this edition also features a full and clickable Table of Contents, a new Introduction and a new Note on 18th Century Spelling & Punctuation.

Jane Austen's Early Works are now a major film!“She was nothing more than a mere good-tempered, civil and obliging Young Woman; as such we could scarcely dislike her -- she was only an Object of Contempt.” - Jane Austen, Love and FreindshipLove and Freindship and Other Early Works is a collection of short epistolary stories initially meant to amuse Jane Austen’s family. Austen wrote these stories at the age of 14 and 15 and read them aloud to her family. All the epistolary stories are satirical mocking the 18th-century English society from the mushy love novels to the former kings and queens of England.

Jane Austen’s “Love and Freindship” [sic] is an epistolary story, written in 1790 when she was fourteen, and dedicated to her cousin Eliza de Feuillide. Featuring improbable coincidences and turns of fate, In form, the story satirizes conventional romance novels of the time, and shows the early development of wit and observation that would make Austen one of the most famous of all British writers. Even the subtitle, “Deceived in Freindship and Betrayed in Love”, shows a command of irony that Austen would later deploy in such classics as “Pride and Prejudice” and “Sense and Sensibility”.

How often, in answer to my repeated intreaties that you would give my Daughter a regular detail of the Misfortunes and Adventures of your Life, have you said "No, my friend never will I comply with your request till I may be no longer in Danger of again experiencing such dreadful ones."Surely that time is now at hand. You are this day 55. If a woman may ever be said to be in safety from the determined Perseverance of disagreeable Lovers and the cruel Persecutions of obstinate Fathers, surely it must be at such a time of Life.
