Lady Susan (version 2)
Jane Austen
Gelesen von LibriVox Volunteers





Jane Austen demonstrated her mastery of the epistolary novel genre in Lady Susan, which she wrote in 1795 but never published. Although the primary focus of this short novel is the selfish behavior of Lady Susan as she engages in affairs and searches for suitable husbands for herself and her young daughter, the actual action shares its importance with Austen’s manipulation of her characters' behavior by means of their reactions to the letters that they receive. The heroine adds additional interest by altering the tone of her own letters based on the recipient of the letter. Thus, the character of Lady Susan is developed through many branches as Austen suggests complications of identity and the way in which that identity is based on interaction rather than on solitary constructions of personality.

Bewertungen





Beverley Hills
I am enjoying the book but not the constant reminders of who has recorded it etc at the beginning these can be 27 second out of a 2 minute chapter. So I trusive and takes away from the quality and enjoyment.





A LibriVox Listener
I enjoyed the multiple readers and their characters. the book itself was enjoyable and it was challenging at first whether or not to like Lady Susan.
Constant Librovox Ad





TLocke
I appreciate Librovox and all the volunteers; but with rest of short letters constantly intruding, and sometimes as long as the reading. Iconfess I gave it up on the 4th letter.





Reader
I’d never heard of this novel before. I liked the way it was recorded with each person taking a character’s voice. Thank you.





Julia
I enjoyed the different voices of readers. And I enjoyed Miss Austin’s telling of events that surely happened in many families of old
