Emma (Dramatic Reading)

Written by Jane Austen

Narrated by LibriVox Community

Emma is a novel about youthful hubris and the perils of misconstrued romance....As in her other novels, Austen explores the concerns and difficulties of genteel women living in Georgian-Regency England; she also creates a lively comedy of manners among her characters. Before she began the novel, Austen wrote, "I am going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like." In the very first sentence she introduces the title character as "Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich." Emma, however, is also rather spoiled, headstrong, and self-satisfied; she greatly overestimates her own matchmaking abilities; she is blind to the dangers of meddling in other people's lives, and her imagination and perceptions often lead her astray.

[Dominic Avila · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I loved this story it was soo good and the ppl read it pretty well but sometimes it was js like hard to hear them but overall ?

Book: great, Narrating: you can’t hear Harriet at all because of the poor recording and piecing together of voices. Worth the listen though.
