"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", and so begins Jane Austen's comic masterpiece EMMA.
In EMMA, Austen perceptively and comically reveals to the reader the life of the English countryside, with its social nuance and mischievousness and most masterfully elevates "the trivialities of day-to-day existence, of parties, picnics, and country dances", (Virginia Woolf). At the center of this world is her inimitable character, Emma Woodhouse, a self-proclaimed matchmaker who just may find herself the victim of her own best intentions. EMMA's other unforgettable characters include the eccentricly delightful Mr. Woodhouse and the devilishly handsome Mr. John Knightly, among others.
