About this listen

Ink and Embers: The Literary Letters Trilogy

Embark on a remarkable journey through time as we present an extraordinary collection of intimate and poignant letters penned by three of the most celebrated authors of the 19th Century.

First up, we have "The Letters of Jane Austen" featuring the incomparable Fiona Shaw as the beloved Jane Austen herself. With candid and occasionally wickedly indiscreet insights, these letters provide a fascinating window into the life of England's literary luminary.

Next, "The Letters of Lord Byron" brings the legendary Robert Powell to the microphone, offering a mesmerizing self-portrait of George Gordon Byron. From his wild youth to the publication of his debut poetry volume and his poignant death during the Greek struggle for independence. This is a revealing glimpse into the soul of a poetic genius.

Lastly, "The Letters of Charlotte Brontë" performed by the talented Imogen Stubbs, unfolds the poignant story of Charlotte's life through heartfelt letters to her closest friend and confidante, Ellen Nussey.

Don't miss this opportunity to rediscover the 19th Century's literary giants in a whole new light. Immerse yourself in seven hours of drama, passion and brilliance. "Ink and Embers: The Literary Letters Trilogy." It's a journey through time you won't want to miss.

Also available as part of the CLASSIC LETTERS & JOURNALS BOX SET, a sixteen hour, seven-volume edition featuring the letters and journals of Lord Nelson, Charlotte Brontë, Scott of the Antarctic, Queen Victoria, Lord Byron, Jane Austen and Dorothy Wordsworth. Performed by Charles Dance, Imogen Stubbs, Edward Fox, Virginia McKenna, Robert Powell, Fiona Shaw and Jenny Agutter.
