Unfinished Austen is the first detailed study of four texts that Jane Austen left incomplete and unpublished: Catharine, or the Bower (1792-3), Lady Susan (1795?), The Watsons (1803-4?) and Sanditon (1817).

Focusing on the critical reception of Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, and George Eliot, this work offers examinations of reviews by eight female critics, and explores the different choices these critics, writing when women had to grapple with limiting assumptions about female intellectual capacities, made about how to disseminate their own writing.
