Clever, rich and beautiful, Emma Woodhouse feels no need to marry — but she has an irresistible urge to arrange romance for those around her. When her matchmaking schemes begin to unravel, the consequences are nothing like she anticipated. Jane Austen famously described Emma as a character ‘whom no one but myself will much like’, yet she has endured as one of the most beloved heroines in English fiction. A dazzling comic masterpiece that balances youthful high spirits with a quiet, deepening sense of self-knowledge, it has been called ‘her masterpiece, mixing the sparkle of her early books with a deep sensibility’ by Robert McCrum in the Observer. Edited with an Introduction by FIONA STAFFORD
