Jane Austen's Juvenilia

At age twelve, Jane Austen launches a one-girl rebellion against bad literature, weaponizing satire to scandalize polite society — and discovering her true calling as history’s most dangerous comic genius.

Twelve-year-old Jane Austen refuses to play the obedient young lady. Instead, she turns her razor-sharp wit into weapons of mass literary destruction, skewering the dull romances and moral tales of her era. When her parents threaten to send her to Bath Seminary to learn “proper” ladylike behavior, Jane rallies her siblings and unleashes her juvenilia — outrageous satires so bold they scandalize adults and delight children. As Jane battles to prove that imagination is as powerful as decorum, she discovers her true calling: to rewrite the rules of storytelling and society itself.
