Jane Shore: A Tragedy, by Nicholas Rowe (1674 - 1718)

This project is now complete. All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/jane-shore-by-nicholas-rowe/
Covering some of the plot of Shakespeare's Richard III, Jane Shore focuses on the mistress of the late Edward IV, also known as "The White Queen". In this short tragedy, Jane tries to thwart Richard's rise to power while experiencing love, betrayal, forgiveness, and an unexpected visitor who arrives in disguise.

I think I've got things set up correctly; I'm still pretty new at this, so bear with me. :) I seem to have overshot on the sections. I need only 43. How do I delete the extras?

Thanks,

The MC needs to delete them. I'll take care of that now, and you can add sections when you are in the MW if you end up needing more.

Thanks, Todd

Actually the mis-spelling is the way the locals would pronounce it. The middle syllable is not pronounced :hmm:

I was brought up next to Gloucester (in Massachusetts, US). I know which syllables to ignore.

Thanks, Todd
