Letters of Jane Austen is a compilation of the surviving letters that Jane Austen wrote to her family and friends. Most were written to her elder sister Cassandra.

Some of the letters provide her reflections on her novels; her characteristic wit, humor, and grace run through the whole collection.
 Jane Austen, England's first major female novelist, wrote and set her novels during the Regency period, when George III was too mad, and his son the Prince, who admired Austen's novels, too young to rule the country. Her six novels are best loved for their irony and perfection of form.Jane Austen perfected the English novel of the previous century in much the same way that Henry James perfected the Victorian novel.
