From the Bronte sisters to Oscar Wilde, the deeply passionate spirit of the Victorian era was embodied in its most iconic writers. It's why we see these beloved classics adapted again and again—for the screen, for the stage, and of course, for "the ears" in radio and audiobook format.
For this roundup, we focused on titles that were published during Queen Victoria's reign from 1837 to 1901. This is why we've excluded the work of Jane Austen, an author whose books largely take place during the Regency era. To put this in historical context, Jane Austen is 37 years older than the prolific Victorian legend, Charles Dickens.
From there, we narrowed down our list to include highly rated titles with at least a minimum of 3.7 stars on Goodreads and 4 stars on Audible. Make sure to add what catches your eye to your Want to Read shelf, and don't forget to tell us what your favorite Victorian listens are in the comments.
