11 Free Jane Austen Books [PDF]

Jane Austen wrote six novels about love, money and marriage in Regency England, and people are still arguing about her heroines two centuries later. She published anonymously, sold modestly, and died at 41 with two books unfinished on her desk.

Her subject was the landed gentry, and her weapon was irony. Every proposal in these books is also a negotiation, and her social commentary lands so lightly that readers have spent generations mistaking her realism for romance.

This collection has her complete works in free PDF: the six finished novels, the epistolary novella Lady Susan, the juvenilia and the two fragments she left behind. Start with Pride and Prejudice if she is new to you, then read the rest in any order you like.

Jane Austen Short and Unfinished Works

Lady Susan, the juvenilia and the letters show Jane Austen writing outside the six famous novels. The Watsons and Sanditon she never finished, and both break off with the story still opening up.

  • The Watsons

    Emma Watson returns to a family she barely knows and a marriage market she cannot afford to lose. Austen abandoned the novel unfinished, and it breaks off with the story still opening up.
