Jane Austen's Collection of Letters [Brabourne Edition] [Annotated]

Jane Austen wrote thousands of letters over the course of her life. Unfortunately, most of these have been lost, but a few dozens were stored by various recipients, most notably her sister Cassandra. This collection was originally edited by Lord Brabourne, Austen's great-nephew. It was not complete nor entirely accurate, as he cut out some paragraphs and left out about a third of her letters. The missing fragments have been added for this edition, clearly marked to differenciate them, and more letters from Austen Leigh's A Memoire of Jane Austen, which were not originally included, have been added as an appendix.

This edition includes:
