Letter writing in Jane Austen’s day was the only viable alternative to face-to-face communication. It was a meaningful literary form that Austen frequently exploited in her novels. Her personal letters are remarkable for their wit, social commentary and insights into her own works and bring us as close as possible to hearing her talk.
