Description:

First published in 1816, Jane Austen`s EMMA is about an unconventional heroine--and one whom Austen thought no one but herself would like. Emma Woodhouse is bright, beautiful, and rich; she is also snobbish and judgmental, and she can be cruel, with a tendency to interfere in other people`s lives. The novel chronicles Emma`s attempts to make a match between a hapless vicar who is, in fact, enamored of Emma herself, and her friend Harriet, a poor and simple young woman in love with a farmer. Unlike many of Austen`s heroines, Emma is possessed of very little good sense; her absurd machinations complicate the lives of everyone involved--and, needless to say, get nowhere. Emma, however, learns from her mistakes and gains some badly needed insight into herself as she discovers her feelings for the older, steady, aristocratic Mr. Knightley. The novel moves toward a not unexpected but perfectly satisfying conclusion, and in the process introduces Austen`s usual cast of amusing, pretentious, hypocritical, and/or dim-witted characters, including the appalling, nouveau riche Mrs. Elton, and Emma`s widowed father, one of the most insufferable (and delightful) neurotics in literature.

    • Great Book

      Although not my favorite Jane Austen book, I still love it. I bought this copy because I already knew I loved the story. Emma is perhaps Jane Austen's most likeable character by today's standards, as she shows that she has more flaws than Austen's other leading ladies. The only negative about this version is that it has no notes to explain language which is out of date. So, if you are buying this for a younger person, you may want to keep that in mind.
