Thinking herself impervious to romance of any kind, Emma tries to arrange a wealthy marriage for poor Harriet, but refuses to recognize her own feelings for the gallant Mr. Knightley. What ensues is a delightful series of scheming escapades in which every social machination and bit of tittle-tattle is steeped in Austen's delicious irony. Ultimately, Emma discovers that Perfect happiness, even in memory, is not common. &&LBR&&R&&LBR&&RVirginia Woolf called Jane Austen the most perfect artist among women, and Emma Woodhouse is arguably her most perfect creation. Though Austen found her heroine to be a person whom no one but myself will much like, &&LI&&REmma&&L/I&&R is her most cleverly woven, riotously comedic, and pleasing novel of manners.&&LBR&&R&&LBR&&R&&L/P&&R&&LP style= MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt &&R&&LSTRONG&&RSteven Marcus&&L/B&&R&&L/B&&R is Professor of English and Comparative Literature and George Delacorte Professor in the Humanities at Columbia University, and a specialist in nineteenth-century literature and culture.
