The culmination of Jane Austen's genius, a sparkling comedy of love
and marriage--now in a stunning 200th-anniversary Penguin Classics
Deluxe Edition
Now a major motion picture starring Anya Taylor-Joy
Beautiful, clever, rich--and single--Emma Woodhouse is perfectly content
with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage. Nothing,
however, delights her more than interfering in the romantic lives of
others. But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr.
Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protégée,
Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have
consequences that she never expected. With its imperfect but charming
heroine and its witty and subtle exploration of relationships, Emma is
often seen as Jane Austen's most flawless work.
This Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition celebrates two hundred years of
Austen's beloved novel. With a beautiful cover designed by illustrator
Dadu Shin and comprehensive notes drawing specially from the Jane Austen
Collection at Goucher College, this is an edition to be treasured by
students and collectors alike.
