About the Author

Jane Austen is trending—permanently—and continues to attract top actors to Audible Studios, all eager to perform Austen’s witty and engaging dialogue. In an era when women didn’t put their own names on their work, Jane Austen quietly wrote six perfect novels that are present-day hot commodities; her celebrity, amazingly, is still growing. Austen’s work, which is sharply satiric, yet full of pathos, continues to delight contemporary listeners.

About the Performer

Florence Pugh received both BAFTA and Oscar nominations for her performance as Amy in Greta Gerwig’s Little Women, which received rave reviews across the board. In the same year, she starred in Ari Aster’s terrifying cult hit Midsommar and in Stephen Merchant’s Fighting with My Family, playing the lead alongside Dwayne Johnson, Lena Headey, Nick Frost and Jack Lowden. Florence will next be seen in Marvel’s highly anticipated Black Widow and Olivia Wilde’s latest directorial outing, Don’t Worry Darling. Her other film and TV credits include Outlaw King, Lady Macbeth, The Little Drummer Girl and King Lear.

About the Performer

In 2020, Gugu Mbatha-Raw starred in the British comedy-drama Misbehaviour alongside Keira Knightley and in Jessica Swale’s Summerland with Gemma Arterton. Her previous film and TV credits include the acclaimed Apple TV+ series The Morning Show, Warner Bros Motherless Brooklyn, Beyond The Lights and the Emmy award winning episode of Black Mirror, San Junipero. Gugu has worked on a number of Disney productions, including the smash hit Beauty and the Beast, Ava DuVernay's A Wrinkle in Time and the forthcoming Loki for Disney +. Gugu has also received multiple award nominations throughout her career, winning the BIFA Award for Best Actress in 2013 for her role in Belle directed by Amma Asante.

In 2020, Billie Piper starred in Sky Atlantic’s I Hate Suzie which she also co-created with Lucy Prebble. The previous year, she was BAFTA nominated for her performance in David Hare’s Collateral for the BBC and Netflix and before that won The Best Actress at the Olivier, Evening Standard, Critics Circle and Drama Desk awards for her role in the Young Vic’s Yerma. Rare Beasts, her feature directorial debut which she wrote and also stars in, premiered at the Venice Film Festival with a cinema release in Spring 2021.

About the Performer

Dame Emma Thompson is a British actress and screenwriter known for her sophisticated, skillful performances and her arch wit. Born in London into a family of actors, she launched her acting career with Cambridge University’s Footlights Dramatic Club, where members of Monty Python first met. Moving from comedy, she found her niche in period drama. In 1993, she won the Academy Award for Best Actress for Howards End. She went on to gain acclaim for her roles in The Remains of the Day and Sense and Sensibility, for which she also wrote the screenplay, winning her a second Academy Award.

A Good Rendition

The last story is a well-read rendition of a much beloved story. There is interesting music in intervals that also helps progress the story. The voices of several of the characters are similar-sounding and that can make it a little difficult to distinguish them if you don't already know the story pretty well, which I do. The Captain Wentworth's actor lacked gravitas but the rest of the cast hold off the enactment very well.

Having said all this, there were a lot of good little additions to the original story here and there to help those who were not familiar with it fill it out, but I found the one which Emma Thompson narrated as Austin (Northinger Abbey)as having been way over-acted and the additions to the story very unnecessarily snide. This seemed excessive, as Jane Austen's original story got that point across without such extremes. I'm a fan of Emma Thompson's and was disappointed. The rest of the stories were very well done.

Great ADAPTATIONS

These are great. I love them. They are not unabridged readings, but they feature music and make you feel like you are in the room with the characters. These are high-quality renditions and thoroughly enjoyable.

Values

So interesting to hear the values the upper society held dear in those times.

Good!

Having read Jane Austen’s novels many times, I enjoyed hearing them dramatized by Audible. Although the stories are not read exclusively by one narrator and parts read by a character instead, they were all very enjoyable. Northanger Abbey is particularly good.

Most wonderful!

I loved this Collection. It was very well performed.
I did not however like the performance by the voice actor who played Elizabeth Bennett. I thought her voice too gruff and unpleasant.
The narrator for Persuasion shouldn’t ever record another book again. I found he full and lifeless. It was like she was reading an instruction manual. There was no inflection or character at all. It was somber and boring. Reminded me of the Nasal Drip commercials.

Other than those two points the rest of the casts should be commended for their talents and bringing to life such wonderful stories.

I love Jane Austen’s worlds and this is such an incredible collection! I highly recommend.

Wonderful Dramatization

Thoroughly enjoyed all six books. A wonderful way to listen to the classics if you have difficulty with the language of the time. Narration comes alive.

Beautiful and Moving

I loved the acting, music, and ambience. All features contributed to bring to life some of my very favorite stories already well loved in print, movie, and miniseries.
