About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Self-Control: A Novel by Mary Brunton. Read in English by Rebecca Brown; Scarbo; DJDarren; A D Latheron; Zeprina-Jaz Ainsworth; Sunshines; dqtcat; Diane Castillo; Louise Poulsom; ToddHW; Mary in Arkansas The author: "This little tale was begun at first merely for my own amusement. It is published that I may reconcile my conscience to the time which it has employed, by making it in some degree useful. Let not the term so implied provoke a smile! If my book is read, its uses to the author are obvious. Nor is a work of fiction necessarily unprofitable to the readers." Jane Austen comments about this novel in a letter to her sister: “I am looking over Self Control again, & my opinion is confirmed of its’ being an excellently-meant, elegantly-written Work…” - Summary by Author and Jane Austen
