Summary
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.

Critics Review
“Jane Austen is my favorite author! … Shut up in measureless content, I greet her by the name of most kind hostess, while criticism slumbers.” -EM Forster

Jane Austen
Jane Austen, the daughter of a clergyman, was born in Hampshire in 1775. She later lived in Bath and the village of Chawton. As a child and teenager, she wrote brilliantly witty stories for her family’s amusement, as well as a novella, Lady Susan.
Her first published novel was Sense and Sensibility, which appeared in 1811. This was soon followed by Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, and Emma.
Austen died in 1817. Persuasion and Northanger Abbey were published posthumously in 1818.
