About Emma

"Emma" by Jane Austen is a novel published in December 1815. Set in the village of Highbury, it follows Emma Woodhouse, a privileged young woman who fancies herself a matchmaker. Confident in her abilities, Emma meddles in the romantic lives of those around her, particularly her new friend Harriet Smith. But her misguided interventions lead to misunderstandings, hurt feelings, and unexpected revelations. Through a series of social missteps and romantic entanglements, Emma must confront her own blindness about matters of the heart.
