With an Introduction and Notes by Dr Nicola Bradbury, University of
Reading. Jane Austen teased readers with the idea of a 'heroine
whom no one but myself will much like', but Emma is irresistible.
'Handsome, clever, and rich', Emma is also an 'imaginist', 'on fire
with speculation and foresight'. She sees the signs of romance all
around her, but thinks she will never be married. Her matchmaking
maps out relationships that Jane Austen ironically tweaks into a
clearer perspective. Judgement and imagination are matched in games
the reader too can enjoy, and the end is a triumph of
understanding.
