This collection of all Jane Austen's minor works printed from her manuscripts, includes three volumes of high-spirited early efforts (written at about fifteen); Lady Susan; the fragments The Watsons (thought to have been a sketch for Emma) and Sanditon, written in the last year of her life; and a number of impromptu comic verses, and three prayers. In the light of recent and more precise knowledge of the chronology of composition and transcription of the juvenilia, Brian Southarm has rewritten most of the headnotes.
