Emma
The culmination
of Jane Austen's genius, a sparkling comedy of love and marriage
Beautiful, clever, rich—and
single—Emma Woodhouse is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for
either love or marriage. Nothing, however, delights her more than interfering
in the romantic lives of others. But when she ignores the warnings of her good
friend Mr. Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protegee
Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that
she never expected. With its imperfect but charming heroine and its witty and
subtle exploration of relationships, Emma is often seen as
Jane Austen's most flawless work.
