Lady Susan (version 2) by Jane Austen.

Jane Austen demonstrated her mastery of the epistolary novel genre in Lady Susan, which she wrote in 1795 but never published. Although the primary focus of this short novel is the selfish behavior of Lady Susan as she engages in affairs and searches for suitable husbands for herself and her young daughter, the actual action shares its importance with Austen’s manipulation of her characters' behavior by means of their reactions to the letters that they receive. The heroine adds additional interest by altering the tone of her own letters based on the recipient of the letter. Thus, the character of Lady Susan is developed through many branches as Austen suggests complications of identity and the way in which that identity is based on interaction rather than on solitary constructions of personality.

Love and Friendship by Jane Austen.

"These inventive and entertaining pieces display the genesis of the wit and imagination of Jane Austen{u2019}s mature fiction, and are by turns amusing, acerbic, and occasionally downright silly. The stories Love and Friendship and Lesley Castle provide parodies of the gentry and the fashionable idea of sensibility of the time, while A History of England is a lively chronicle of English monarchic history. Also included in this collection are The Three Sisters, Catharine, and the series of vignettes known as A Collection of Letters. Taken together, these pieces display all the wry humour, shrewd observation and satirical insight of Emma or Pride and Prejudice."--Publisher's description.
