Artifact #10

Love and Freindship, spelled as so, was categorized in my Juvenilia or younger work.  Thus this short novel was the beginning of my, so to speak, legacy.  It is rather the spark of my initiative future of average literature.  As you can see, my stories were often documented by others in the future for further editions.

Lady Susan was not published my lifetime (but my relation James Edward Austen-Leigh would publish it posthumously in 1871 in his book Memoir).  A form of my epistolary novel is considered part of juvenilia.  I worked with this piece around 1805 and it remained in my possesion then on.

Artifact #8

Mansfield Park was published in 1814, becoming my third published work of literature.  It did not, however, live up to “the Pride and Prejudice expectations.”  Shall I be confined to the public's ideals for the rest of my meager career?      

Artifact #7

Tom Lefroy is the infamous lover of my youth.  We met in 1796 as he was visiting some family close by.  After some brief public flirtation, Lefroy returned to London to continue his law studies.  Our association is a most popular discussion involving male attractions, though he was not my only prospect I can assure you.  This disappointing love affair would signify the rest of my love life.  Never was I to marry, but a spinster with my sister would I remain.
