Oft-copied but never bettered, Jane Austens Emma is a remarkable comedy of manners that follows the charming but insensitive Emma Woodhouse as she sets out on an ill-fated career of match-making in the little town of Highbury. Taking the pretty but dreary Harriet Smith as her subject, Emma creates misunderstandings and chaos as she tries to find Harriet a suitor, until she begins to realize it isnt the lives of others she must try to transform.
Gorgeously illustrated by the celebrated Hugh Thomson, this Macmillan Collectors Library edition also includes an afterword by David Pinching.
