In 1789, James Austen's first publication of her periodical The Loiterer was published and released. This periodical was published weekly until 1790. This periodical was a humorous publication written by James and Henry Austen, Jane's brothers, while they were undergraduates at Univerity of Oxford. Their writting styles have some pretty clear similarites to their sister Jane, as they both incorperate humor and wit into their work, as well as getting their message across to their audience.
