• Jane Austen (16 December 1775 – 18

July 1817) was an English novelist whose works of romantic fiction, set among the landed gentry, earned her a place as one

of the most widely read writers in English literature Her realism and biting social

commentary have gained her historical

importance among scholars and critics

• Emma, by Jane Austen, is a novel about

youthful hubris and the perils of

misconstrued romance The novel was

first published in December 1815 As in

her other novels, Austen explores the

concerns and difficulties of genteel women living in Georgian-Regency England; she also creates a lively comedy of manners among her characters

Before she began the novel, Austen wrote, "I am going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like.“ In the very first sentence she

introduces the title character as "Emma

Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich."

Emma, however, is also rather spoiled,

headstrong, and self-satisfied; she greatly

overestimates her own matchmaking abilities;

she is blind to the dangers of meddling in other people's lives, and her imagination and

perceptions often lead her astray.
