Review of unabridged NA read by Juliet Stevenson

Filed under: Links — Mags @ 1:46 am

The Guardian has a short review of the Naxos unabridged audiobook of Northanger Abbey, read by Juliet Stevenson.

Writing a few years later, Austen presented herself as the literary equivalent of Dawn French and mocked Radcliffe’s work with her own version, Northanger Abbey. This satire laughed at the idea that all young girls were beautiful and good-natured and all large buildings imposing and full of mystery.

Yep!
