No matter how beautiful, intelligent, and rich you are, you still have to learn about character and relationships in order to know love for yourself.
Young, single, wealthy, and somewhat idle, Emma Woodhouse is now the mistress of Hartfield, where she lives with her hypochondriac and anxious father. Only Mr. Knightley and the Westons come to visit frequently, which always provides an opportunity for long conversations between the two of them with Mr. Knightley.
Emma believes herself adept at playing matchmaker among her acquaintances. Her interest initially focuses on young Harriet Smith, whom she imagines would be a perfect match for the clergyman, Mr. Elton. She tries to bring the two young people together using a multitude of pretexts. But Emma is, in fact, no expert in matters of love, nor in understanding people's personalities. She begins to accumulate mistakes, disappointments, and surprises, often to her great embarrassment and in rather comical ways. This doesn't stop her from continuing to imagine improbable relationships.
The last novel published by Jane Austen during her lifetime, Emma is yet another demonstration of her talent. A talent for describing the life and customs of a certain class of English society, but also for drawing subtle, ironic, and humorous portraits. Delightfully funny, Emma testifies to the wit and delicate irony that made Jane Austen a master of the English novel. Although Jane Austen believed that she alone would love her witty, whimsical, and delusional heroine, Emma has won the affection of generations of readers.
