Jane Austen, Young Author

In her lively and accessibly written book, Juliet McMaster examines Jane Austen¿s acute and frequently uproarious juvenile works as important both in their own right and for the ways they look forward to the later novels. Her book will appeal to Austen¿s critics and to passionate general readers, as well as to scholars working in the fields of juvenilia, children¿s literature, and childhood studies.
