''Plan of a Novel, according to Hints from Various Quarters'' is a short satirical work by Jane Austen, probably written in May 1816. It was published in complete form for the first time by R. W. Chapman in 1926, extracts having appeared in 1871. It has been said that "in the ''Plan'' and the correspondence from which it arose, we have the most important account of what Jane Austen understood to be her aims and capacities as a novelist". ==Background== In 1815 Austen met the Rev. James Stanier Clarke in London. He had ideas for her fiction, including a novel to be based on a clergyman with a foothold in urban life, as well as the provincial rural settings she had used so far for clerics in her novels.〔Collins, p. 1.〕 At the time (October 1815) she was staying with her brother in London negotiating the publication of ''Emma'', which was then dedicated to the Prince Regent through the good offices of Clarke, who was the Prince's librarian.〔 Among Clarke's suggestions was a historical novel on the House of Coburg: Austen side-stepped with a disclaimer about her talents.〔Claire Lamont, ''Jane Austen and the Old'', The Review of English Studies New Series, Vol. 54, No. 217 (Nov., 2003), pp. 661-674, at p. 663. Published by: Oxford University Press. Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/3661480〕 Clarke recommended that Austen should dedicate Emma to the Prince Regent. She did this, although she disapproved of his attitude towards his wife.〔Austen wrote in a letter to Martha Lloyd on the 16th of February 1813 of the Prince's infidelities and his wife: "I am resolved at least always to think that she would have been respectable, if the Prince had behaved only tolerably by her at first."〕
