WHAT MATTERS IN JANE AUSTEN? Twenty Essential Questions Answered

Those who love the much-lauded work of Jane Austen need look no further than this audiobook for guidance and companionship. Charles Armstrong is a confident narrator of this exhaustive examination of Austen's novels. His voice is pleasant, and he has an appropriately dignified accent. The pace can build until it gets quite fast, and the tone approaches sounding robotic when this happens. Otherwise, Armstrong lends some approachable and welcome personality to this subject matter, especially when delivering the many excerpts from Austen's work. The audiobook may serve newcomers to Austen well, guiding them in appreciating minute details in her work as they read or listen, but it may give too much away about plot. Austen aficionados might enjoy this deeper look at her work and craft. L.B.F. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2025]
