Jane Austen's best-selling novel, Emma, is a romantic comedy about love, marriage, and personal growth. Set in Highbury, England, in the early 19th century, Emma Woodhouse is a beautiful, clever, and single young heiress who is very content with her life and has no aspirations of marriage. What makes her happiest is acting as a matchmaker and interfering in the romantic lives of friends and family. However, after an entertaining sequence of comic mishaps and misunderstandings, Emma learns that what she wants is right in front of her. With its imperfect but delightful heroine and witty and subtle exploration of relationships, marriage, and social status, Emma is frequently referred to as one of Jane Austen's most significant works.
