Summary
"Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence; and had lived nearly twenty-one years in the world with very little to distress or vex her." So begins Jane Austen's comic masterpiece Emma.
In Emma, Austen's prose shows life of an early-nineteenth-century life in the English countryside full of parties, picnics and country dances. At the center of this world is the inimitable Emma Woodhouse, a self-proclaimed matchmaker who, by the novel's conclusion, may just find herself the victim of her own best intentions.
“Silly things do cease to be silly if they are done by sensible people in an impudent way.”
