Book De*ion
Emma, when first published in 1816, was written when Jane Austenwas at the height of her powers. In it, we have her two greatestcomic creations — the eccentric Mr. Woodhouse and thatquintissential bore, Miss Bates. In it, too, we have her mostprofound characterization: the witty, imaginative, self-deludedEmma, a heroine the author declared "no one but myself will muchlike," but who has been much loved by generations of readers.Delightfull funny, full of rich irony, Emma is regarded as one ofJane Austen's finest achievements.
