I may have lost my heart, but not my self-control.”
Most interesting of all Jane Austen's heroines, Emma is the most flawed, the most infuriating and the most endearing. With a wisp of gentle satire on provincial balls and drawing rooms, Emma wanders along the way encountering the sweet Harriet Smith, the chatty Miss Bates, and her absurd father Mr. Woodhouse. Resisting to romance of all kinds, she fails to recognize her own feelings.
Wrapped in genteel comedy of manners, the novel encapsulates fascinating episodes of Emma’s meddling and her over-estimation as a matchmaker garnished in Austen’s delicious irony, thus rightly entitling Jane Austen as ‘Prose Shakespeare’

About the Author
Jane Austen was an English novelist known primarily for her six major novels, which interpret, critique and comment upon the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Austen's plots often explore the dependence of women on marriage in the pursuit of favourable social standing and economic security. Her works critique the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century literary realism. Her use of biting irony, along with her realism, humour, and social commentary, have long earned her acclaim among critics, scholars, and popular audiences alike.
