About this listen

Jane Austen’s most popular novel, originally published in 1813, some 17 years after it was first written, presents the Bennet family of Longbourn. Against the background of gossipy Mrs. Bennet and the detached Mr. Bennet, the quest is on for husbands for the five daughters. The spotlight falls on Elizabeth, second eldest, who is courted by Mr. Darcy, though initially she is more concerned with the fate of her other sisters. This marvelous account of family life in Regency England is read with customary panache by Juliet Stevenson.

By far the best Jane Austen narrator Juliet Stevenson’s Pride and Prejudice is the most enjoyable of the four versions I own

I would like some of the narration to be a little faster but speeding it up made Elizabeth too fast so I had to leave it but otherwise by far the best narration of one of my favorite Austen reads. I often choose which Juliet Stevenson narration I’m going to read rather than which book - she is outstanding and can make any audiobook she narrates the greatest pleasure.

Love it of course

Juliet Stevenson is quite frankly the gold standard in audible recordings. The story is as always, wonderful, but I do have a complaint. Why does she *ahem* over the names of certain towns and certain peoples? I found that *ahem* most annoying and don’t recall it happening in my other versions of this book. What’s the deal with that?

Great book and reader

So great to find this book read by Juliette Stevenson. She’s one of the best with Jane Austen. The only off thing is she sometimes replaces a word with a throat clearing sound. It’s a bit bizarre and not infrequent. I suppose it’s a copyright issue but I wish that wasn’t done.

Beautiful story beautiful narration

The only thing I didn’t enjoy is the inconsistency of narration with certain characters especially with Lizzy. However, I am a huge fan of Jane Austen and Juliet Stevenson and I enjoyed it more than any other versions.

Perfection

It’s not that Naxos’ previous offering of Pride and Prejudice was bad in any way. It was fine. It was enjoyable. But Juliet Stevenson is perfect. Perfect. And it rounds out the best audio collection of Jane Austen on the planet.

Masterful reading of a literary masterpiece

Jane Austen’s writing is at its best in Pride and Prejudice. So much more than a romance novel, it is a delightful comedy of manners. It is also a welcome escape from the modern penchant for extreme emotion, action, or violence in storytelling. Pride and Prejudice is a true masterpiece.

Juliet Stevenson’s performance is absolutely perfect. Characters are clearly portrayed. She infuses them with the life and wit of the story. Ms Stevenson’s timing and cadence are excellent, pausing just long enough at all the right moments giving listeners a moment to savor what we just heard before going on.

On of the very best audiobook experiences!!

Fine narration of a timeless classic

Juliet Stevenson has done it again! Her ability to portray each character is uncanny and she certainly breathes life into the words on every page.
