Emma: A Fragment of a Story

This podcast presents the only surviving fragments of Charlotte Brontë's unfinished novel 'Emma', published posthumously. The story follows Miss Mabel Wilcox, who runs a boarding school and encounters the mysterious Conway Fitzgibbon and his daughter. When background checks reveal that no wealthy Fitzgibbon family exists, Miss Wilcox must decide what to do about the possible imposter. These two chapters are prefaced by Brontë's editor, W. M. Thackeray.
