Emma, by Jane Austen, is a novel about youthful hubris and the perils of misconstrued romance. The novel was first published in December 1815.
The story of Miss Woodhousebusybody, know-it-all, and general relationship enthusiastis a comedy of manners deftly laced with social criticism. The charm largely inheres in Emma's imperfections: her slightly spoiled maneuverings, her highly fallible matchmaking, her inability to know her own heart.
Emma Woodhouse, aged 20 at the start of the novel, is a young, beautiful, witty, and privileged woman in Regency England. She lives on the fictional estate of Hartfield in Surrey in the village of Highbury with her elderly widowed father, a hypochondriac who is excessively concerned for the health and safety of his loved ones. Emma's friend and only critic is the gentlemanly George Knightley, her neighbour from the adjacent estate of Donwell, and the brother of her elder sister Isabella's husband, John.
