The Poetry of Jane Austen

Some would argue that Jane Austen was England's finest female author—and it would be hard to argue otherwise. The characters and sweep of the lives of the landed gentry and her grip on social commentary in Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Emma, and Northanger Abbey are true testament to her greatness.

But here we present another facet of her talent: her poetry. Often overlooked, her admittedly slim collection is nonetheless as charming as her more popular novels. This audiobook includes "Happy the Lab'rer," "I've a Pain in My Head," "Mock Panegyric on a Young Friend," "My Dearest Frank, I Wish You Joy," and others.
