c Emma 

$ by Jane Austen 

< 

0) 

[5 Emma is a novel about youthful hubris and the perils of misconstrued romance. As 
in her other novels, Austen explores the concerns and difficulties of genteel women 
living in Georgian-Regency England; she also creates a lively comedy of manners. 


Before she began the novel, Austen wrote, "I am going to take a heroine whom no 
one but myself will much like." In the very first sentence she introduces the title 
character as "Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich." Emma, however, is 
also spoiled, headstrong, and self-satisfied; she greatly overestimates her own 
matchmaking abilities; she is blind to the dangers of meddling in other people's 
lives, and her imagination often leads her astray. (Summary by Wikipedia and 
Kara)
