Description
'Love and Freindship [sic]' is a juvenile story by Jane Austen. While aged 11-18, Austen wrote her tales in three notebooks. In form, the story resembles a fairy tale in featuring wild coincidences and turns of fortune, but Austen is determined to lampoon the conventions of romantic stories, down to the utter failure of romantic fainting spells, which always turn out badly for the female characters. The story shows the development of Austen's sharp wit and disdain for romantic sensibility, characteristic of her later novels.
