Emma by Jane Austen (Alma Classics Paperback)

Emma Woodhouse is handsome, clever, rich and quite certain she knows what is good for everyone in the village of Highbury. Jane Austen's 1815 novel follows her as she plays matchmaker for her friends while insisting she will never marry herself, and this Alma Classics paperback is a handy edition for students and first-time readers alike.

• A comedy of manners built on Emma's well-meant schemes and the muddles they cause
• Harriet Smith, Mr Elton, Frank Churchill and Jane Fairfax bring a full cast of village intrigue
• Mr Knightley, the family friend who is not afraid to tell Emma when she is wrong
• Sharp, funny writing that also shows how narrow women's choices were in Regency England

Often counted among Austen's finest novels, it rewards rereading and works well for book clubs and English literature courses.
