About Emma
Despite Austen’s claim that “I am going to take a heroine whom no-one but myself will much like”, the titular character of Emma is one of her most enduring popular protagonists. In spite of her flaws, namely her conceitedness and propensity for ill-judged matchmaking, she is charming, intelligent and witty, and finally meets her match in the gentlemanly Mr Knightley.
The novel has inspired numerous film and television adaptations, including a 1996 film adaptation starring Gwyneth Paltrow and the loose modern adaptation Clueless, which transposes the story to an American high school.
About Jane Austen
Jane Austen was an influential English writer, best known for her novels, including Emma, Sense and Sensibility and Northanger Abbey. She came from a respectable but not particularly wealthy family, which meant that her parents could not afford to send her to school. She therefore taught herself, thanks to her father, her brothers and the extensive family library. Austen never married, and her novels contain numerous criticisms of the position of women in Georgian society and wives’ dependence on their husbands. She also used her writing to critique the sentimental fiction that was popular in the second half of the 18th century, and she favored a writing style that fused realism, satire and irony.This practical and insightful reading guide offers a complete summary and analysis of Emma by Jane Austen.
