Emma
Overview & Summary
Wealthy, clever, and thoroughly convinced of her own matchmaking skills, Emma Woodhouse meddles in the romantic lives of her friends and neighbors in the English village of Highbury, with comically disastrous results, all while remaining blind to her own feelings for the sensible Mr. Knightley. Jane Austen's novel is a comedy of self-delusion and social misjudgment, following a memorably flawed and very funny heroine as she finally learns some humility.
