Description

Emma is about the life of a beautiful, clever and rich woman of twenty-one, who lives with her father in their huge estate. The wealthy, and somewhat spoilt Emma Woodhouse has no interest in falling in love or getting married, but finds pleasure in trying to make romantic matches for her friends. After the successful Union of Miss Taylor, her long time governess and friend, with Mr Weston, she takes young Harriet Smith under her wing, the next target of her matchmaking schemes. Mr Knightley, a trusted friend of the Woodhouses, is the only one who criticizes her and advises whenever necessary, but the naïve Emma has a long way to go before she realises the consequences of her actions as a self-proclaimed matchmaker. The story follows Emma’s journey through all her meddling and how she discovers a lot about herself and about an unrealised love!.

About the Author

Jane Austen was born on December 16, 1775, in Steventon, Hampshire, England. While not widely popular in her own time, Austen’s comic novels of love gained popularity after 1869 and her reputation skyrocketed in the 20th century. Today, Austen is considered one of the greatest writers in English history. In 2002, the British public voted her No. 70 on a list of ‘100 Most Famous Britons of All Time.’ Her novels are considered literary classics, bridging the gap between romance and realism. Northanger Abbey was published by Jane’s brother, Henry. It was the first of Jane Austen’s novels to be completed for publication in 1803. However, it was not published until after her death in 1817. Northanger Abbey is a satire of Gothic novels which were quite popular at the time.
