Emma
Paperback
Emma, first published in 1816, was written when Jane Austen was at the height of her powers. In a novel remarkable for its sparkling wit and modernity, Austen presents readers with two of literatureÕs greatest comic creationsÑthe eccentric Mr. Woodhouse and that quintessential bore, Miss Bates. Here, too, we have what may well be Jane AustenÕs most profound characterization: the witty, imaginative, self-deluded Emma, a heroine the author declared Òno one but myself will much like,Ó but who has been much loved by generations of readers. Delightfully funny, full of rich irony, Emma is regarded as one of Jane AustenÕs finest achievements.
