Jane Austen's early works, contained within three surviving notebooks, are funny, sharp, and brimming over with personality. This episode we are joined by Dr. Kathryn Sutherland, one of the editors of the Oxford World’s Classics edition of Austen’s Teenage Writings, to discuss the nature of these writings, the way they were consumed by her family audience, and their relationship to her later novels. Thank you so much to Kathryn for joining us for this episode! You can learn more about her and her work at www.english.ox.ac.uk/people/professor-kathryn-sutherland.
