<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Introduction by A. Walton Litz</b><br> <b> </b><br> "Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence; and had lived nearly twenty-one years in the world with very little to distress or vex her." So begins Jane Austen's comic masterpiece <i>Emma</i>. In <i>Emma, </i>Austen's prose brilliantly elevates, in the words of Virginia Woolf, "the trivialities of day-to-day existence, of parties, picnics, and country dances" of early-nineteenth-century life in the English countryside to an unrivaled level of pleasure for the reader. At the center of this world is the inimitable Emma Woodhouse, a self-proclaimed matchmaker who, by the novel's conclusion, may just find herself the victim of her own best intentions. <p/> INCLUDES A MODERN LIBRARY READING GROUP GUIDE<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Jane Austen is my favorite author! ...
