Resumen del Editor
Originally published in 1778, Evelina is Frances Burney's first and most beloved novel. It was a landmark in the development of the novel of manners and went on to influence such enduringly popular authors as Jane Austen.
By turns hilarious and grim, witty and lyrical, the story follows young Evelina as she leaves the seclusion of her country home and enters into late eighteenth-century London society - both its pleasures and its dangers. Life in eighteenth-century England is vividly rendered as Evelina is educated in the ways of the world and, eventually, love. As she battles such cruelties as social snobbery and delights in such thrills as pleasure gardens and balls, Evelina strives toward her final triumph, while capturing the hearts of listeners everywhere along the way.

Historia
Riotous, sexy and groundbreaking, Henry Fielding's Joseph Andrews: The History of the Adventures of Joseph Andrews and His Friend Mr. Abraham Adams, published in 1742, was one of the first English novels. Fielding was melding and parodying the two major forces battling for control of the fiction market at the time - the mock heroic, neoclassical tradition as practiced by Pope and Swift and the popular and populist fiction of the new novelists such as Defoe and Richardson.

Oscar Wilde's first play confronts the hypocrisy of public "morality" compared with genuine, private kindness. The reasons for its continued popularity are not difficult to identify: the play's witty dialogue contains many of Wilde's most quoted aphorisms, its stylish setting provides opportunities for elegant presentation, and its cast of memorable characters play out a story which is genuinely moving. This new audio production brings together a full cast worthy of Wilde's creative genius.

A milestone in the history of the novel, Samuel Richardson’s epistolary and elaborate Clarissa follows the life of a chaste young woman desperate to protect her virtue. When beautiful Clarissa Harlowe is forced to marry the rich but repulsive Mr. Solmes, she refuses, much to her family’s chagrin. She escapes their persecution with the help of Mr. Lovelace, a dashing and seductive rake, but soon finds herself in a far worse dilemma. Terrifying and enlightening, Clarissa weaves a tapestry of narrative experimentation into a gripping morality tale of good versus evil.

Historia
Dr. Johnson may have been correct in saying that “Rousseau was a very bad man,” but none can argue that his ideas are among the most influential in all of world history. It was Rousseau, the father of the romantic movement, who was responsible for introducing at least two modern day thoughts that pervade academia. The Confessions is Rousseau’s landmark autobiography. Both brilliant and flawed, it is nonetheless beautifully written and remains one of the most moving human documents in all of literature.

Historia
Fanny Burney's wickedly funny satire follows the trials and romantic adventures of the young and beautiful Evelina as she tries to make her way through 18th-century Britain handicapped by her three great problems: being poor, being illegitimate - and being a girl. Evelina was a raging best seller when it was first published in 1778 and is widely credited with being the first of the great British domestic novels. Burney was a direct influence on her immediate follower, Jane Austen.

Historia
Before Jane Austen, there was Frances Burney (1752-1840). Camilla is her third novel and deals with the matrimonial concerns of a group of young people: Camilla Tyrold and her sisters, the sweet tempered Lavinia and the plain, but extremely kind, Eugenia, and their cousin, the beautiful Indiana Lynmere - and in particular, with the love affair between Camilla herself and her eligible suitor, Edgar Mandlebert. They have many hardships, however, caused by misunderstandings and mistakes, in the path of true love.

Historia
From his perspective in Renaissance Italy, Machiavelli's aim in this classic work was to resolve conflict with the ruling prince, Lorenzo de Medici. Machiavelli based his insights on the way people really are rather than an ideal of how they should be. This is the world's most famous master plan for seizing and holding power. Astonishing in its candor The Prince even today remains a disturbingly realistic and prophetic work on what it takes to be a prince, a king, or a president.

An entertaining listen
Though this novel was written in 1778, it feels fresh in its observations and language. The characters are fairly well-drawn--though with the limitation of the narrators being the letter writers, there are some motivations and characters that are left with shallow outlines. Some of the characters and events also seemed superfluous--though that is also common in Dickens, Gaskell, and Trollope--but it made me appreciate how tightly written Jane Austen's novels are. I enjoyed the narration, though at times it tended toward the melodramatic--though at somewhat melodramatic moments! Orson Scott Card's afterword also seems superfluous--I didn't find that it added anything to listening to the novel--and he needs to read Lady Susan if he thinks Jane Austen utterly rejected the epistolary form.

American accent
Great book when known to the history of it.
Next time please choose British native performers. The American accent was out of place.

This is the type of underrated classic we need to make viral!
P.S. I loved Orson Scott Card’s Afterword (he is the author of Ender’s Game, for those who aren’t aware)

Happy discovery
First of all, it is lovelily read. The only negative I could find about the performance, is the accent not being British, taking away some of the authenticity. However, it is a good performance, therefore after my original deception, I enjoyed every minute.
As for the story itself, I read it because I learnt it was one of Jane Austen's favourites. As I said in the title, it is a happy discovery. I will read Cecilia next with the hopes of another lovely read.

A bit over the top …
It’s an engaging story, but many, even most, of the characters are too extreme—all bad or all good— and some of them are simply insufferable. Many scenes and events are also repeated—this nit-wit of a girl gets herself into the same ridiculous situations again and again, and she can never get up the gumption to say NO when someone is “forcing” her to do something she knows is unwise. So, while you frequently want to wring the heroine’s neck, it’s nonetheless pretty entertaining and very well performed.

Satisfactory, a solid B
Appreciated there being multiple narrators and the main woman does a good job portraying different voices, etc. However I do wish everyone had an English accent (or Scottish where it pertains), as it would have felt more authentic.

American Narrator...but don't let that stop you
I get that the venerable Orson Scott Card loves this book so much that he selected the narrators (and bought the rights...?) but an American woman is a poor choice to voice an English girl. That being said, I found the story itself so charming and the narration otherwise so faultless that it was easy for me to sink into the book. May be harder for a British reader, however, to get over the very English story voiced by an American.

Lovely story loved by Jane Austen
Fascinating look at English women of the late 1700s, written in letters, mostly from a naive young woman, raised by an English country parson, but, of course, the true daughter of a wronged English woman and a French aristocrat who denies her birthright.
