Emma (version 4)
Jane Austen
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
Emma, by Jane Austen, is a novel about youthful hubris and the perils of misconstrued romance. As in her other novels, Austen explores the concerns and difficulties of genteel women living in Georgian-Regency England; she also creates a lively comedy of manners.
Before she began the novel, Austen wrote, "I am going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like." In the very first sentence she introduces the title character as "Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich." Emma, however, is also spoiled, headstrong, and self-satisfied; she greatly overestimates her own matchmaking abilities; she is blind to the dangers of meddling in other people's lives, and her imagination often leads her astray.

Reviews
Dikid Wangmo
Emma is one hellova girl. much Love.
Excelent reading, not so good a novel.
Jane Black
I liked the reading very much, the story, not so much. I thought Emma vain, prejudiced and very full of herself. I'm glad she grew up as a character, but still, it's certainly not one of my favourites of Austen's novels.
