Jane Austen's Emma introduces the imperfect heroine, a woman who delights in meddling in the romantic lives of others, leading to unexpected consequences. Set in Georgian England, this novel, full of evening balls, park walks, and witty dialogue, astutely and humorously explores the world of Emma Woodhouse, young, beautiful and highly respected, who cannot keep her hands off matchmaking, despite the warnings from her friend Mr. Knightley. Often regarded as Austen's most flawless work, Emma remains a brilliant exploration of relationships.
