Fiction: special features

Paperback. The young Jane Austen was a precocious reader, devouring pulp fiction and classic literature, both of which she soon began to imitate and parody. Three volumes of her vivacious teenage writing survive. Devices and themes which appear subtly in her later fiction run riot here: drunkenness, brawling, sexual misdemeanour, theft, and even murder. Editor(s): Sutherland, Kathryn; Johnston, Freya. Series: Oxford World's Classics. Num Pages: 416 pages, 13 black and white illustrations, 2 Maps. BIC Classification: 3JF; BJ; DSBF; DSK; FYB. Category: (Y) Teenage / Young Adult. Dimension: 196 x 129. .
