Genre:
Juvenilia short story
Pages: 7
Words:

Publish: 1790
This section of the Juvenilia was literally labeled “Scraps” because that is all these stories were. There are five “stories” but it only takes up about seven pages. They are not even as brief as some of the “Letters” from before. There is no proto-story, just some writings that were obviously Austen just having that itch to write and this is the stuff that she scribbled in the margins of her notebook, literary doodles as it were.
There isn’t really even enough to talk about any particular “Scrap”. As a Jane Austen fan, this is the kind of thing I am glad to read to give me a fuller picture of her as an author but it’s not something I plan on ever re-reading or to wax eloquent on.
