自20世纪50年代以来，学者们一直在争论简·奥斯汀在她十几岁的笔记本《第三卷》中的手以外的证据。现在人们普遍认为，她的侄女安娜奥斯汀（后来的勒弗罗伊）和她的侄子詹姆斯爱德华奥斯汀（后来的奥斯汀-利）为构成笔记本的两部中篇小说贡献了结局。这篇文章进一步推动了研究结果：首先，从他自己的一系列青少年小说中的笔迹证据来看，时间跨度比之前建议的詹姆斯·爱德华·奥斯汀第二部中篇小说的延续时间要短，通常被修改后的名字“凯瑟琳，或鲍尔”所指;第二，她提出了这样一种可能性，即奥斯汀对原文的大量修改，据推测是她自己的，也是在她侄子的手中。其中之一是它改变了标题，文章最后敦促恢复其原来的标题“基蒂，或凉亭”。证据拼写的变化，以及手，是用来区分和评估詹姆斯爱德华的编辑干预。有些人表现出未能理解或回避故事的政治含义，其中包括将女主角的名字凯蒂彼得森改为凯瑟琳珀西瓦尔。《第三卷》中侄女和侄子的手表明了小圈子阅读和写作在奥斯汀整个职业生涯中的重要性。他们还建议，在19世纪10年代中期，她可以慷慨地允许詹姆斯·爱德华编辑和继续《凯蒂或凉亭》，因为作为一名出版作家，她在其他地方有范围和认可。
Since the 1950s, scholars have debated the evidence for hands other than Jane Austen’s in her teenage notebookVolume the Third. It is now widely agreed that her niece Anna Austen (later Lefroy) and her nephew James Edward Austen (later Austen-Leigh) contributed endings to the two novellas that make up the notebook. This essay pushes the findings further: first by arguing, from evidence of handwriting in a range of his own teenage fictions, for a shorter time span than previously suggested for James Edward Austen’s continuation to the second novella, usually referred to by its revised name ‘Catharine, or the Bower’; and second by raising the possibility that numerous revisions to Austen’s original text, presumed to be hers, are also in her nephew’s hand. Among these is its altered title, and the essay ends by urging that its original title ‘Kitty, or the Bower’ be restored. Evidence from spelling variations, as well as hand, is used to distinguish and evaluate James Edward’s editorial interventions. Some reveal a failure to understand or a shying away from the story’s political implications, among them the significant alteration of its heroine’s name Kitty Peterson to Catharine Percival. The hands of niece and nephew inVolume the Thirdpoint to the importance of coterie reading and writing throughout Austen’s career. They also suggest that in the mid-1810s she could be generous in allowing James Edward to edit and continue ‘Kitty, or the Bower’ because, as a published writer, she had scope and approval elsewhere.
