About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of The Consolation of Philosophy by Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius. (Translated by Wilbraham Villiers Cooper.) Read in English by LibriVox Volunteers. The Consolation of Philosophy was written about 524 A.D. and has been called one of the most popular and influential books ever written. The book is presented as a dialogue between Boethius, the author, and Lady Philosophy, his tutor. Through her teaching, Boethius learns the true nature of fortune, misfortune, wealth, good, and evil. This dramatic reading is an attempt to present this wonderful work in an audio format while maintaining the dialogic structure of the work.
