As we enter Spring what better than a classic, humorous romance?
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. More info on Wikipedia...
