Overview
Emma is considered by many readers to be Jane Austen's crowning achievement, a timeless comedy of manners that lays bare the limits on women's autonomy in Regency England. The disparity between Emma Woodhouse's self-confidence and self-knowledge, and her determination to arrange marriages for her friends while avoiding one for herself, leads to a painful series of misunderstandings for everyone who suffers from her well-meaning altruism - and with Mr Knightley being the only person of her acquaintance who has the good sense to challenge her, Emma must eventually recognise her match in every sense.
'A favourite from my school days, and it would always hold its place my heart. Austen's characters are always devastatingly good, and Emma is, for me, her best creation.'-Monica Ali
'It is the cleverest of books. I especially love the dialogue - every speech reveals the character' obsessions and preoccupations, yet it remains perfectly natural.'-Susanna Clarke
'I read all of Jane Auste's novels very early on and learnt to love her economy of style and precision. She still seems to me the finest writer in the English language.'-Philippa Gregory
