Jane Austen created Emma for herself. Heroine whom no one but myself will much like, she observed. However, Emma is universally liked. She is a young, witty and happy-go-lucky girl who takes immense delight in matchmaking while paying no attention to her own prospects. She sets out to find a match for her friend without knowing the dangers of forced involvements.
Emma was first published in 1815. As with her other novels, Austen explores in it the lives of genteel women in Georgian-Regency England. With picturesque details and engaging characters, Emma is Austen s best-loved comedy.
First Published in 1815
About the Author
One of all time literary favourites, Jane Austen was born at Steventon rectory, England on December 16, 1775. She started writing poems, stories and plays as early as 1787 which she compiled in three bound notebooks. Those early works were later published as Juvenilia. Then, she wrote Lady Susan, a novella in epistolary form. However, it remained unpublished for a long time. Having written Lady Susan, she penned down six novels, four of which were published during her life as follows: Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1815). Northanger Abbey (1818) and Persuasion (1818) were published posthumously. Two of her novels The Watsons and Sanditon, though published later on, remained unfinished. Austen died on July 18, 1817.
