THE MAKING OF A MARCHIONESS

by | Read by Lucy Scott

Fiction • 8.25 hrs. • Unabridged • © 1901

Although Emily Fox-Seton, the pivotal character in Burnett’s novel, is naïve and credulous to a fault, Lucy Scott’s narration captures Emily’s good-hearted nature and makes her believable even to 21st-century listeners who might think she’s too good to be true. When the well-born but penniless Emily unexpectedly becomes the Marchioness of Walderhurst after marrying the widowed marquis, what follows is a gentle coming-of-age tale with a gratifying denouement. Scott doesn’t attempt to modernize Emily, nor does she present her as a victim of late-Victorian sexist mores. Her interpretations of the staid marquis, the eccentric Lady Maria, and the unscrupulous Captain Osborn contribute to our enjoyment of this satisfying story of love and sacrifice.
