Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Novels of Jane Austen: Lady Susan, the Whatsons, a Memoir and Letters I have lately received permission to print the following tale from the author´s niece, Lady Knatchbull, of Provender, in Kent, to whom the autograph copy was given. I am not able to as certain when it was composed. Her family have always believed it to be an early production. Perhaps she wrote it as an experiment in conducting a story by means of letters. It was not, however, her only attempt of that kind; for "Sense and Sensibility" was first written in letters; but as she afterwards re-wrote one of these works and never published the other, it is probable that she was not quite satisfied with the result. The tale itself is scarcely one on which a literary reputation could have been founded: but though, like some plants, it may be too slight to stand alone, it may, perhaps, be supported by the strength of her more firmly rooted works. At any rate, it cannot diminish Jane Austen´s reputation as a writer; for even if it should be judged unworthy of the publicity now given to it, the censure must fall on him who has put it forth, not on her who kept it locked up in her desk.
