Listen now (65 min) | It’s on to another great novel, this time by Jane Austen, so this week David, Heidi, and Sean discussed Austen’s unique use of free indirect discourse and other formal flourishes in this book, similarities and differences between this book and Austen’s other novels, and much more. Happy listening!
Oh my goodness, is “free indirect discourse” what was going on in Gentleman in Moscow?? Is that why the voice of the narrator could so easily be perceived as the voice of the Count?
I loved this episode! I started listening to it all over again after I had finished it the first time. I especially enjoyed the dialogue about free indirect discourse, which I’ve been trying to wrap my mind around since I first learned about it in John Mullan’s book on Jane Austen.
I'm late to the party, but this conversation was a delight! I'll be listening to the rest of this series as I find the chance.

Did I miss the schedule? How far for next week?
The next episode will cover through the end of Volume I (through ch. 12 for those without volume divisions). Happy reading!
