JANE AUSTEN Emma

New soft cover Small surface crease on cover. Clever, rich and beautiful, Emma Woodhouse sees no need for marriage, but loves interfering in the romantic lives of others. Her matchmaking plans soon unravel, however, with consequences that she never expected. Jane Austen's novel of youthful exuberance and gradual self-knowledge is a brilliant, sparkling comic masterpiece. The irrepressible Emma, although described by Austen as a character 'whom no one but myself will much like', is one of her most beloved heroines. This version of Emma is based on the first-edition text of 1816, as originally published.
