Emma – Jane Austen by Jane Austen

"I may have lost my heart, but not my self-control."

Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich, has no intention of marrying, but she delights in interfering in the romantic lives of others. Her misguided matchmaking schemes lead to a series of comic disasters, misunderstandings, and eventually, a humbling lesson in the secrets of her own heart.

Jane Austen's most polished masterpiece features a heroine she famously described as one "no one but myself will much like." Yet Emma remains one of literature's most fascinating characters, anchoring a novel that sparkles with irony and psychological insight.
