Description
Austen's Emma is a novel about a heroine who presumes to have absolute sovereignty over her little world - and it brings her to grief. Through remorse and repentance, she learns to form correct judgements, including those about whom she will marry.
The story of Emma is often described as the quietest of Austen's novels, but this guide reveals a plot that is both successful and cunning. The author skillfully plays tricks on the reader, making it difficult to predict which eligible young man the heroine will end up with.
