Notes
Arrogant, self-willed and egotistical, Emma is Jane Austens most unusual heroine. Her interfering ways and inveterate matchmaking are at once shocking and comic. She is handsome, clever and rich and has a disposition to think too well of herself. When she decides to introduce the humble Harriet Smith to the delights of genteel society and to find her a suitable husband, she precipitates herself and her immediate circle into a web of misunderstanding and intrigue, from which no-one emerges unchanged.
