When this cold, hard world has me lonesome and blue, I look up to see my angel, my sweet angel, you. Read Complete Poem. I don't think this poem is just about platonic friendship but also about romantic couples who began with a foundation built on friendship then let it grow into something more beautiful. You're the thought that starts each morning, the conclusion to each day. I envision you in all that I do and everything I say.

I need a friend who can hold me tight, someone who won't let me go until made clear I am finally all right.

Emma thinks she knows better, but little does she know the mess that she has created when playing cupid. She forgets that unlike her, Harriet has no one to fall back on and so Harriet feels the pressure of marriage sitting on her shoulders in ways Emma cannot even begin to understand. Knightley Johnny Flynn. All the pain she has caused people and the problems that could have been avoided if not for her lack of self-awareness. You see the easy happiness of Mrs. When Emma visits her, you can see how happy Mrs. There was not a drop of disappointment when it came to the brilliant acting of each and every character. Not an ounce of emotion ever felt held back and not a moment that did not fit perfectly with the other scenes. The comic relief was never too much and it did not pull away from the seriousness in each situation at hand. It is a balancing act that could go one way or the other. Emma and Jane Fairfax Amber Anderson are like mirror reflections of each other. Emma, who is rich, uses her wealth supposedly to help others and make up for the love that she admits she fears. Jane is poor, already accomplished and loved by all. She welcomes love and yet still fights to be better than Emma simply because they both have something the other wants. All the costumes were beautiful, eye-popping colors that really brought the film to life. Not just simply the clothing choice, but the colors that give the newer version life while the version is made more with elegance with simplicity. Whether it is with simple movements and shifts to show emotions without words, or simply the way the characters hold themselves in society. It is easy to identify the brilliance and humor of Jane Austen at an early age in these stories. Jane Likes to Narrate: A lot of these stories are heavy on the narrative side, often with very little portions of dialogue. It is interesting to see how many of her early works are epistolary works. Was it because she was very familiar with writing letters to her friends and siblings? Or perhaps because she enjoyed the act of telling stories both verbally and in print? Jane Likes to Spoof and Make Sport: A lot of what Jane Austen wrote in her early works can be traced back to or gives reference to a published work she read. She reminds one of the writers for Saturday Night Live, but instead of writing parodies about the latest news and events, she pens skits and satires about the latest novels and plots. Some stories break off without any resolution or satisfying closure. I loved the humor and the very opinionated stance Jane Austen took with some monarchs! Catharine, or the Bower — I enjoyed this longer work for its descriptive and imaginative characterizations — Jane Austen definitely has a love for ridiculous characters and their follies! Lady Susan — Ooh! Such an anti-heroine! Full of schemes and drama, I just love the candor that letter-writing allows! Definitely a tome to admire and treasure! Half of the jabs and jokes Jane Austen made would be way over my head without them. In addition, I found it interesting to learn what edits Jane Austen made on her own manuscript and to suppose the reason why such edits were made. And of course, I think including Lady Susan in this compilation is brilliant! And these earlier works by Jane Austen are definitely something every Jane Austen fan should read at least once. I love that Penguin Books included such a lovely volume in their eye-catching and elegant Hardcover Classics series! It will wonderfully complete my Jane Austen set! I discovered this little gem a few months ago and couldn't pass it up since it was Jane Austen! A compilation of stories, some finished and some not or at least they felt unfinished to me , some sent to family members for various reasons, others discovered after her death, and all a good deal of fun to read. Since most are pretty short, it was easy to read bits and pieces as the notion arose. Many of the stories are written in epistolary form as well and I really enjoyed that aspect of them. One can never go wrong with reading Austen, right? May 11, Heather Alderman rated it liked it. I love Jane Austen stories; however, this one was not outstanding. Yes, I knew going into it that it was a collection of short stories she wrote in her youth and her age and inexperience are very evident. Some of the stories were very sweet and others plain silly. I did love getting glimpses in her writing of the stories that were to come and see the beginning ideas for them. An enjoyable read for any Jane Austen fan, but don't expect the wonderfulness of Pride and Prejudice, Persuasion, Emma, I love Jane Austen stories; however, this one was not outstanding. An enjoyable read for any Jane Austen fan, but don't expect the wonderfulness of Pride and Prejudice, Persuasion, Emma, etc Not at all what I expected - having read almost all of Jane Austen's adult writing, I knew she was capable of a sly, subtle humour, but her juvenilia is not at all subtle, reading more like Monty Python skits than staid regency entertainment. I'm still gobsmacked by the premeditated malice she gives Lady Susan too; not at all what I expected, but a brilliant surprise. I can't say that this is one of my favorites of Austen's. It was very quick, and very short, and funny in an over-the-top way, but I find that I much prefer her subtlety. Considering how young she was when writing this though, it's pretty damn impressive. I'm so happy I got to discover this part of Jane Austen. I loved the stories, no matter how ridiculous, and often couldn't stop myself from laughing out loud. Jane Austen was truly brilliant, and these works make that ever the more obvious. Without a doubt this little collection makes me appreciate her and her famous works even more than I did before! Jan 03, Charlotte rated it really liked it. Young JA is so clever, sarcastic, and hilarious. One particular passage from Love and Freindship was so so funny. How does she do it? Some stories were better than others, to be fair. Dec 30, Catherine rated it really liked it Shelves: build-something- better , stories. Hilarious, charming, revelatory, fun as hell. But we knew this. I haven't finished it, but I think I'll read Emma for awhile View 1 comment. When I studied Jane Austen at university I imagined her a middle-aged, strong -willed , intelligent woman who happened to live in the wrong age for her wish for independence and was quite angry for her unlucky fate. I thought her as proud as Elizabeth, as sensible and good mannered as Elinore, quite reserved and very generous like Anne Elliot. Anyhow, I got the image of the serious, reserved spinster feeling rather superior to many other women who had to come to a compromise with marriage. Reading her minor works, Lady Susan last summer and these Juvenilia this weekend gave me a new image of Jane Austen. That of a lively, open- minded, humorous young woman who loved laughing, reading, gossiping and being under the spotlight. Love and Freindship she wrote freind and freindship all the short story through! She had a long literary apprenticeship supported and nurtured by her large, loving and scholarly family. Jane was born in , the 7th of 8 children. Life at the Rectory at Steventon was entertaining and educational, the children were often staging plays or publishing magazines. During her teenage Jane wrote 3 volumes the notebooks still exist — one in the Bodleian Library; the other two in the British Museum of absurd but amusing stories and skits to be read aloud to entertain her family. Love and Freindship is the second of these volumes. It was lovely to imagine young Jane reading it aloud and all her dear laughing around her. There are several hilarious silly passages ,featuring an improbable series of faints, which made me laugh too: from letter 8 She Sophia was all Sensibility and Feeling. We flew into each other's arms and after having exchanged vows of mutual Freindship for the rest of our Lives, instantly unfolded to each other the most inward secrets of our Hearts. Never did I see such an affecting Scene as was the meeting of Edward and Augustus. It was too pathetic for the feelings of Sophia and myself -- We fainted alternately on a sofa. Such perfidious Treachery in the merciless perpetrators of the Deed will shock your gentle nature, Dearest Marianne, as much as it then affected the Delicate Sensibility of Edward, Sophia, your Laura, and of Augustus himself. To compleat such unparalelled Barbarity, we were informed that an Execution in the House would shortly take place. We sighed and fainted on the sofa. To convey her satirical view of love and friendship, Jane Austen makes these themes oversimplified and stereotypical. They become paradoxical and make us laugh. This also shows that Jane Austen considered the romantic notion of sensibility as a myth. An improbable one. It contains some amusing bits, a number of separate sub-plots and supporting characters. She would tell about them in her major novels too, of course. This gleeful dealing with scandalous facts may be the reason why her family resisted the temptation to publish these Early Works until My lovely edition of this early works by Austen contains also: - The History of England written when Jane was fifteen It is a parody which pokes fun at widely used schoolroom history books such as Oliver Goldsmith's The History of England from the Earliest Times to the Death of George II ; - A Collection of Letters , which reveals Austen consciously experimenting with writing techniques and characters sketches. Austen was a sharp observer of the ridiculous even in her teens, and this short epistolary novel and fragments of other works presages her novels to come. She has a particularly keen eye for the ridiculousness of young women in love. Popgun My Girl, my Darling, my favourite of all my Children, who art the picture of thy poor Mother who died two months ago, with whom I am going to Town to marry to Strephon, and to whom I mean to bequeath my whole Estate, it wants seven Miles. I murdered my father at a very early period of my Life, I have since murdered my Mother, and I am now going to murder my Sister. I have changed my religion so often that at present I have not an idea of any left. I have been a perjured witness in every public tryal for these last twelve years; and I have forged my own Will. In short there is scarcely a crime that I have not committed—But I am now going to reform. Colonel Martin of the Horse guards has paid his Addresses to me, and we are to be married in a few days. As there is something singular in our Courtship, I will give you an account of it. Colonel Martin is the second son of the late Sir John Martin who died immensely rich, but bequeathing only one hundred thousand pound apeice to his three younger Children, left the bulk of his fortune, about eight Million to the present Sir Thomas. At that moment I happened to be passing by the door of the Court, and was beckoned in by the Judge who told the Colonel that I was a Lady ready to witness anything for the cause of Justice, and advised him to apply to me. In short the Affair was soon adjusted. The Colonel in gratitude waited on me the next day with an offer of his hand—. I am now going to murder my Sister. Yours Ever, Anna Parker.

But it also opens up this particular, special relationship as a means of contemplating other relationships of different kinds and degrees. It may have been tempting at times to shut down; to opt out. But Call Me By Your Name offers more positive messages — that it is up to us how or whether to define our relationships; that reaching out to the other can enlarge and nourish the self; and, finally, that pain is the flipside of joy: accepting it, living on with the help of our families of birth or of choice, leaves open the possibility of future healing, future joy.

The Penguin Hardcover Classics series are beautifully designed editions by Coralie Bickford-Smith featuring gorgeous patterns stamped on linen cases, colored endpapers, and ribbon markers.

Edited by Christine Alexander, it includes an introduction, notes and other useful editorial materials. But they are also a product of the eighteenth century she grew up in — dark, grotesque, often surprisingly bawdy, and a far cry from the polished, sparkling novels of manners for which she became famous.

She wrote a book called Pride and Prejudice, later made famous by dashing actor Colin Firth and his wet shirt. Many Americans still want her autograph and others ask questions as to whether she might be enjoyed by male readers, the answer to which may seriously cause me concerns regarding my sexual and gender identity.

Austen refuses to throw any Conan the Barbarian-like bones to her male readership, who are going to have to take it on trust that their penis won't fall off after perusal of these satirical delights, written for no-one but her family, who were appreciative enough to provide illustrations. I am sure they were also appreciative enough that their Jane was something of a genius and that these miniature works, whilst notably unpolished, moved from brilliant all-out satire on the literary conventions of the day Love and Freindship, the volume's highlight, much obliged to the constant swoons and shocking multiple sudden deaths through a notorious takedown of historical method A History of England , towards the subtler novelistic style that she would perfect as an adult. Catharine comes to a crashing halt after 30 pages but as a first attempt shows a lot of style and finesse. Reading this volume makes me weep for my teenage self who could barely construct a sentence, despite similar as-yet-still-unrealised ambition. It also makes me weep for the cult of Jane Austen who still think that mother of chick lit is something of an empowering label. One likes to imagine what Jane Austen would have said about the work of Stephanie Meyer or Jodi Piccoult, amongst close acquaintances. View all 3 comments.

Love and Freindship was very different from how I thought it would be. I would not recommend going in expecting it to be like the Austen works you already know. This edition is, naturally, a collection of Jane's works as a teenager. It was really entertaining for me personally to see how far she came as a writer. Most of the stories in this book are brief, insensitive, and very degrading to the characters in them, who tend to be silly and make heavily unrealistic decisions. But the writing is still Love and Freindship was very different from how I thought it would be. But the writing is still very Jane--quick, sassy, and merciless. And once you get past the utter bizarreness of many of the stories, it becomes very entertaining to see how ruthless Jane could be to the characters she created, as well as the late eighteenth century English society she lived in. If you consider yourself an Austen fan, I would definitely recommend this, especially if you're very familiar with her work. This book is a fun, light read that really gives perspective on Jane's journey as a writer.

Not that I didn't like the book, I'd rather pick the book back and re-read it rather than write a review. Lazy, I tell you. Originally, I was to read only Jane Austen's History of England for the JaneAustenJuly, but since I found her juvenilia in this particular book that isn't that long, I inhaled it all. So now, I've read everything she has ever written and will be able to move on to What matters in Jane Austen by John Mullan. It contains : - Love and freindship nothing to do with the film, which is adapted from Lady Susan , - An unfinished novel in letters, - The history of England written when she was 16 , - A collection of letters, - The female philosopher, - The first act of a comedy, - A tale. All these texts are rather short, quickly and easily read, and I had a blast doing so. Those texts are incomplete, lacking in depth and all that, but you see what a wonderful author she is to become. You find names in there, situations that you see in her later novels. I sometimes wished I had the complete story because I wanted to read more! I understand why her brother, while she tried to hide her name - and yet ascertaining that she was a "lady", in a time where women published under male pseudonyms, he gave her away every time in brotherly pride. Reading this book was an absolute treat and I highly recommend it to you. View all 6 comments. This hilarious collection of Jane Austen's early attempts at writing show how witty and sharp she could be even at a young age. It's such a pity that all the short stories here are unfinished. I was laughing and chuckling at every page, because of the sketches of ridiculous characters in awkward situations. It's full of fainting women, comical misunderstandings, and a rich old grandfather who shows up at the most convenient times. Full of true Austenian satire. All the ladies hate each other upon sight, and complain to their friends about the others' shortcomings with spiteful and snarky dialogue. Watts for his money and fortune in jewels. Mary especially hates Mr. Watts, who is very unpleasant, but she wants to lord it over her sisters by being the first to be married and flaunt her new jewels. She spends almost the entire story wavering between accepting or rejecting Mr. Watts' proposal with humorous results. In the writing style, you can see this delightful little kernel of the author she would become. I enjoyed reading this so much! Jan 18, kris rated it really liked it.

Young Jane Austen just doesn't give a shit about silly things like "sense" and "probability. And this collection is so much the better for it. The stories of Love and Freindship don't ask you to suspend your disbelief so much as they ask you to believe in an entirely different kind of logic, one that indulges in all things absurd and whimsical.
