Contents:Juvenilia Volume IJuvenilia Volume IIJuvenilia Volume IIIFrom the age of eleven, and perhaps earlier, Austen wrote poems and stories for her own and her familys amusement. In these works the details of daily life are exaggerated, common plot devices are parodied, and the "stories are full of anarchic fantasies of female power, licence, illicit behaviour, and general high spirits", according to Janet Todd. Austen later compiled fair copies of twenty-nine early works into three bound notebooks, now referred to as the Juvenilia, containing work written between 1787 and 1793. She called the three notebooks "Volume the First", "Volume the Second" and "Volume the Third", and they preserve 90,000 words she wrote during those years. The Juvenilia are often, according to scholar Richard Jenkyns, "boisterous" and "anarchic"; he compares them to the work of 18th-century novelist Laurence Sterne.

Traducción de Ana Mª RodríguezIntroducción de Tony Tanner A lo largo de una trama que discurre con gran ritmo y precision, Jane Austen reune una galeria de personajes caracteristicos de toda una epoca: la dama empeñada en casar a sus hijas con el mejor partido de la region, las hermanas que se debaten con sus vaivenes sentimentales, el clerigo adulador que peca de oportunista... El estudio de caracteres y el analisis de las relaciones humanas basadas en la costumbre, elementos esenciales de la narrativa de la autora, alcanzan en Orgullo y prejuicio cotas de maestria insuperable. La presente edicion incluye una detallada cronologia de la autora. Asimismo, recupera la introduccion original en Penguin Clasicos de Tony Tanner, que desarrollo su carrera como catedratico de literatura inglesa y norteamericana en la Universidad de Cambridge, y cuyas agudas reflexiones sobre Jane Austen son la mejor guia para adentrarse en el universo literario de esta autora. "Mi locura no ha sido el amor sino la vanidad."
