Million-dollar manuscripts

Oxford's Bodleian library just bought an unfinished manuscript of an unpublished novel by Jane Austen - for a very large sum of money indeed. This is perhaps of more literary than linguistic interest - but at this site, you can read facsimiles and transcripts of Austen's writing, which reveals the corrections and editing Austen went through when drafting. It's also a good example of early 19th-century English, for A2 study.
