  1. 1. Love And Freindship

    and Other Youthful Writings
    Cover of 'Love And Freindship' by Jane Austen

    A witty, epistolary parody of sentimental novels in which a young heroine narrates a chain of absurdly impulsive love affairs, hasty marriages, sudden duels and deaths, and absurd reversals of fortune; its exaggerated coincidences and comic hyperbole lampoon naïve passion and the conventions of popular romance, producing sharp satire through playful melodrama.
