The Watsons

An Unfinished Novel by Jane Austen

If my opinions are wrong, I must correct them—if they are above my station, I must endeavour to conceal them. ” ― Jane Austen, The Watsons

Jane Austen wrote five chapters of The Watsons before abandoning it after her father's death in 1805. Mr. Watson is a widowed clergy man with four daughters. In this snippet of what could have been an impressive novel, Austen lays out the family's situation and begins developing their relationships with the people around their home. Several attempts have been made to finish the novel.
