 | Emma by Adela Pinch, C. E. Brock, Carroll Moulton, H. M. Daleski, James Kinsley
First published in 1816, EMMA is about an unconventional heroine who possesses beauty, power, confidence, and wealth. She is also opinionated and judgmental, scheming and cunning. She attempts to match an orphaned young woman, Harriet Smith, with someone of a higher-born class, instead of the farmer Harriet prefers. The novel follows the two women as they weave in and out of love relationships that mirror the social climb. Denied any other way to advance, the women in Austen`s novels must marry to get ahead.
