Emma is one of Jane Austen's most well-known and popular novels. First published in 1815, this comedy of manners explores sex, marriage, social status, and youth. It has spurred many modern adaptations in film, TV series, and stage plays.
Young Emma Woodhouse is handsome, rich, headstrong, and lively. After Miss Taylor, her former governess and best friend, retires to get married, Emma decides that she likes matchmaking and tries to enter into the profession.
"I may have lost my heart, but not my self-control. "
She starts off by persuading her friend Miss Harriet to refuse a proposal from Robert Martin, a young farmer, although she likes him. She hopes she will instead marry Mr. Elton, the local vicar, even though he considers Harriet well below his social standing. Mistakenly taking Emma's interest for love, Mr. Elton proposes to her instead.
