Emma is widely regarded as Jane Austen's most perfectly constructed
novel. At once a comedy of misunderstanding, a razor-sharp analysis
of the English class-system, a classic tale of moral growth, and a
romance that combines sense with sensibility, it has appealed to
readers of every generation and critics of every disposition.
This sourcebook introduces readers not only to Jane Austen's text,
but also to the literary and historical contexts within which the
novel was written, and to the many different critical readings that
it has generated, from the time of its publication to the
twenty-first century. Each extract is fully introduced and
analyzed, with a concluding section on recommended editions and
further reading to prepare the reader for further study of this
incomparable English novel.
