*UNLOCKED* Reading 'Hope Leslie,' Vol. 1, Preface & Ch 1-3




Literary Hangover show

Summary: Hi everyone! In preparation for the first Hope Leslie episode on Saturday, I'm unlocking (previously available at Patreon.com/literaryhangover) the first installment of my narration of Catharine Maria Sedgwick's Hope Leslie; or, Early Times in the Massachusetts for members. These are the chapters that Grace, Alex, and I talk about. Once I'm finished, I'll upload it to Librivox where my (admittedly amateurish) narration will be immortalized in the public domain for as long as the internet exists. Not only is there not a good audiobook narration for Hope Leslie, there really isn't a very good free full text copy. The one linked above is only useful in PDF format. There's a good Penguin Classics edition of the book however. Some of the language is antiquated, so you may want a copy to read along with. https://archive.org/details/hopeleslieorearl01sedg
