What Novels Has Jane Austen Written?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Jane Asten's work includes the following:

    Novels:
    Sense and Sensibilty (published 1811)
    Pride and Prejudice (1813)
    Mansfield Park (1814)
    Emma (1816)
    Northanger Abbey (1817)
    Persuasion (1817)

    'Sense and Sensibility' was Jane's first novel to be published, under the pseudonym 'A Lady'.

    Shorter works include:
    Lady Susan (novella)
    The Watsons (incomplete novel)
    Sanditon (incomplete novel)

    'The Watsons' was produced in 1803, and is thought to have been abandoned after her father's death in 1805. However, Jane's neice, Catherine Hubback, completed the novel and published it in the mid-nineteenth century. A completion was also published by John Coates in 1957.

    'Sanditon', despite being written whilst Jane was seriously ill, is fresh, original and innovative. Jane had less than six months to live when she wrote the opening chapters. 'Sanditon' was originally entitled 'The Brothers', and Jane's family renamed it after her death.

    Juvenilia:
    The Three Sisters
    Love and Freindship
    The History of England
    Catherine, or the Bower
    The Beautiful Cassandra

    The misspelling of 'Love of Freindship' is intentional and one of many in the story, which is clearly a parody of the romantic novels that Jane read as a child.
