The Costume of Jane Austen and Her Characters
View through CrossRef
Jane Austen's letters were published in a collected edition in 1932, edited by Dr. R.W. Chapman. Some of them and many parts of them had been known for years from the Memoir by J. Austen-Leigh (1870); from Lord Brabourne's publication of letters in his possession, Letters of Jane Austen (1884); and from The Life and Letters of Jane Austen by W. and R.A. Austen-Leigh (1913); but this edition gave, for the first time, the full text of all known letters.
