Jane Austen
A Collection of Letters
B-
Five unrelated letters, most of them in the exaggerated style of the other juvenilia, but with one mostly serious letter that influenced Pride & Prejudice, "Letter the Third: From a Young Lady in Distress'd Circumstances to Her Friend." My favorite of the other four is the first, "From a Mother to Her Friend," where the mother's daughters tremulously make their debut in the world, by having tea with the neighbours.
