SynopsisAs daughter of the richest, most important man in the small provincial village of Highbury, Emma Woodhouse is firmly convinced that it is her right--perhaps even her "duty"--to arrange the lives of others. Considered by most critics to be Austen's most technically brilliant achievement, "Emma" sparkles with ironic insights into self-deception, self-discovery, and the interplay of love and power., Emma Woodhouse, spoilt and self-willed, is convinced she knows what is right for other people, especially in matters of the heart. She is, of course, invariably wrong. Wrong about Robert Martin and the pretty, empty-headed Harriet; about Harriet and the young vicar; about rich Frank Churchill and poor Jane Fairfax. While scheming and flirting, Emma nearly loses the one person who has always loved her, and it is a very contrite heroine who thankfully accepts his proposal.
