Jane Austen s brilliant, hilarious - and often outrageous - early stories, sketches and pieces of nonsense, in a beautiful Penguin Classics clothbound edition.Jane Austen s earliest writing dates from when she was just eleven years, and already shows the hallmarks of her mature work: wit, acute insight into human folly, and a preoccupation with manners, morals and money. But they are also a product of the eighteenth century she grew up in - dark, grotesque, often surprisingly bawdy, and a far cry from the polished, sparkling novels of manners for which she became famous. Drunken heroines, babies who bite off their mother s fingers, and a letter-writer who has murdered her whole family all feature in these very funny pieces. This edition includes all of Austen s juvenilia, including her History of England - written by a partial, prejudiced, and ignorant Historian - and the novella Lady Susan , in which the anti-heroine schemes and cheats her way through high society. Taken together, they offer a fascinating - and often surprising - insight into the early Austen.This major new edition is the first time Austen s juvenilia has appeared in Penguin Classics. Edited by Christine Alexander, it includes an introduction, notes and other useful editorial materials.Jane Austen was born on 16 December 1775 at Steventon, near Basingstoke, the seventh child of the rector of the parish. In her youth she wrote many burlesques, parodies and other stories, including a short epistolary novel, Lady Susan. On her father s retirement in 1801, the family moved to Bath, and subsequently to Chawton in Hampshire. The novels published in Austen s lifetime include Sense and Sensibility(1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1816).

Jane Austen s brilliant, hilarious - and often outrageous - early stories, sketches and pieces of nonsense. Jane Austen s earliest writing dates from when she was just eleven years, and already shows the hallmarks of her mature work: wit, acute insight into human folly, and a preoccupation with manners, morals and money. But it is also a product of the eighteenth century in which she grew up - dark, grotesque, often surprisingly bawdy, and a far cry from the polished, sparkling novels of manners for which she became famous.Drunken heroines, babies who bite off their mother s fingers, and a letter-writer who has murdered her whole family all feature in these very funny pieces. This edition includes all of Austen s juvenilia, including her History of England - written by a partial, prejudiced, and ignorant Historian - and the novella Lady Susan , in which the anti-heroine schemes and cheats her way through high society. Taken together, they offer a fascinating - and often surprising - insight into the early Austen.This major new edition is the first time Austen s juvenilia has appeared in Penguin Classics. Edited by Professor Christine Alexander, it includes an introduction, notes and other useful editorial materials.

Spirited, easy, full of fun, verging with freedom upon sheer nonsense ...At fifteen she had few illusions about other people and none about herself - Virginia Woolf [Her] inspiration was the inspiration of Gargantua and of Pickwick; it was the gigantic inspiration of laughter - G.

A smart, eloquent ode to Jane Eyre with an irresistible queer hero at its heart. Orphaned young and raised with chilly indifference at an all-boys boarding school, Bronte Ellis has grown up stifled by rigid rules and social norms , forbidden from expressing his genuine gender identity. His beloved novels lend an escape, until a position as a live-in tutor provides him with a chance to leave St.Mary s behind. Greenwood Manor is the kind of elegant country house Bron has only read about, and amid lavish parties and cricket matches the Edwards family welcomes him into the household with true warmth. Mr Edwards and the young Ada, his pupil, accept without question that Bron s gender presentation is not traditionally masculine.Only Darcy, the eldest son, seems uncomfortable with Bron - the two of them couldn t be more opposite. When a tragic fire blazes through the estate s idyllic peace, Bron begins to sense dark secrets smouldering beneath Greenwood Manor s surface. Channelling the heroines of Charlotte Bronte, Jane Austen and other period classics, he begins to sift through the wreckage.Soon, he s not sure what to believe, especially with his increasing attraction to Darcy clouding his vision. Deeply in conversation with the British classics, but with a warmth and wit uniquely its own, The Manor House Governess is a contemporary, queer homage to classic literature and the period drama; a joyous, uplifting contemporary story about finding yourself and a reminder that queer love can thrive in the present whilst embracing our literary past.

Herschel Caine is a master of the universe. His hedge fund, built on the miracle of machine learning, is inches away from systematically sapping profits from the market. His SoHo offices (shoes optional, therapy required) are ready for desperate investors to flood through the doors. But on May 12, his mind is elsewhere-at his Cobble Hill townhouse and the dinner party designed to impress his flawless neighbours. When the soiree falters, Herschel concocts a prank that goes horrifically awry, plunging him into a tailspin of guilt and regret. As Herschel s perfect world starts to slip away, he clings to the moral clarity he finds in the last place he d expect: a sudden connection with his neighbour s dog.A wildly inventive, reality-bending trip, The Vegan holds a mirror up to its reader and poses a question only a hedge fund manager could: is purity a convertible asset? The more Herschel disavows his original sin, and the more it threatens to be revealed, the more it becomes something else entirely: a way into a forgotten world of animals, nature, and life beyond words. Andrew Lipstein, the author of Last Resort, a novel that you ll think about . . . for weeks after you read the last pages (Los Angeles Times), challenges our ideas of contemporary morality in his scintillating, provocative second novel.
