Emma
by Jane Austen
Emma Woodhouse is the beautiful, vibrant, strong-willed, and erroneous protagonist of Jane Austen's fourth published novel. Confident that she knows best, Emma plans to find the right man for her docile friend Harriet, but only to find that she understands the feelings of others as little as her own heart. When Emma unravels the secrets of her social world, Austin invokes from her readers a cast of memorable characters and a detailed portrait of a small town undergoing a historical transition. Written with unparalleled wit and irony, which many consider her best novel, Emma has been adapted many times for film and television.
