The Penguin English Library,, 1973. ISBN: 0140430105. Paperback. Good condition. Some writing on title page.
As well as being a mature and brilliant comedy of manners, Emma is perhaps Austen’s most complex and psychologically dexterous novel. Focalised through its eponymous protagonist’s well-meaning but uninitiated mind, Emma is an enchanting meditation on the difficulty of knowing yourself and the vacuity of cunning logic when it comes to the matters of the heart.
Beautiful, clever, rich – and single – Emma Woodhouse is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage.
Nothing, however, delights her more than interfering in the romantic lives of others. But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protégée Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected.
