Love and Freindship [sic] by Jane Austen
"Love and Freindship" [sic] by Jane Austen is a juvenile story written in 1790. Composed when Austen was just fourteen years old, this epistolary tale brilliantly parodies the romantic novels of sensibility popular in her era. Through letters from the heroine Laura, Austen lampoons the absurd conventions of sentimental fiction—fainting spells, wild coincidences, and exaggerated emotions. The story follows Laura's whirlwind marriage, unlikely family reunions, and dramatic misfortunes, showcasing the sharp wit
that would define Austen's later masterpieces. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
