About this listen

A collection of BBC radio full-cast dramatisations of Jane Austen's six major novels. Jane Austen is one of the finest writers in the English language, and this volume includes all six of her classic novels.

Mansfield Park: on a quest to find a position in society, Fanny Price goes to live with her rich aunt and uncle.

Northanger Abbey: young, naïve Catherine Morland receives an invitation to stay at the isolated Gothic mansion Northanger Abbey.

Sense and Sensibility: forced to leave their family home after their father's death, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood try to forge a new life at Barton Cottage.

Pride and Prejudice: Mrs Bennet is determined to get her five daughters married well, so when the wealthy Mr Bingley and his friend, Mr Darcy, move into the neighbourhood, her hopes are raised....

Emma: Emma Woodhouse declares she will never marry, but she is determined to find a match for her friend, Harriet.

Persuasion: eight years ago, Anne Elliot rejected a marriage proposal from a handsome but poor naval officer. Now her former love has returned....

With an all-star cast including David Tennant, Benedict Cumberbatch, Julia McKenzie, Jenny Agutter, Toby Jones, Eve Best and Juliet Stevenson, these BBC radio adaptations are full of humour, romance, love lost and love regained. Duration: approx. 14 hours 30 mins.

What did you like most about The Jane Austen BBC Radio Drama Collection?

I liked the production of the dramas, they were an easy listen.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Jane Austen BBC Radio Drama Collection?

"Mansfield park" was new to me and I enjoyed it and the familiar "Sense and sensibility" and "Pride and Prejudice" very much. I thought that "Emma" had a rather thin plot line and found "Persuasion" in places a bit hard to follow on who is who..

Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances? How does this one compare?

I love Jane Austen and the stories give a wide variety of her works and I pretty much flew through them.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I thought the dramatization was very good.

Any additional comments?

If you like periodic drama this is a very good collection for it.
