This early work is part of her "Juvenilia," a collection of writings from her teenage years that showcase her developing literary talents and sharp wit. The story consists of a series of letters, and is a parody of the romantic novels popular at the time. "Love and Friendship" is a satirical novel written in the form of letters, showcasing Austen's early talent for parody and social commentary. These early works were often written for the amusement of her family and friends, and they provide a glimpse into her development as a writer. Austen's early writings are characterised by their playful tone and humorous take on the romantic and social conventions of her time. They often feature exaggerated characters and absurd situations, highlighting the young author's keen observational skills and her ability to poke fun at societal norms. These early works laid the foundation for Austen's later, more mature novels, such as "Pride and Prejudice" and "Sense and Sensibility," where her wit and social critique became more refined and sophisticated. "Love and Friendship" and other early writings are valuable for understanding the evolution of Austen's literary style and her growth as a novelist.
