Freya Johnston’s Jane Austen, Early and Late reframes Austen’s work by reading the author’s juvenilia, short texts, and other so-called minor writing in conversation with her six major novels. Instead of establishing a clear hierarchy that progresses from more ephemeral writing to the well-known novels, Johnston treats all of Austen’s writing as connected and essential to understanding this major figure of literary history.
