SpecificationsAbout the Author Though the domain of Jane Austen’s novels was as circumscribed as her life her caustic wit and keen observation made her the equal of the greatest novelists in any language. Born the seventh child of the rector of Steventon Hampshire on December 16 1775 she was educated mainly at home. At an early age she began writing sketches and satires of popular novels for her family’s entertainment. As a clergyman’s daughter from a well-connected family she had an ample opportunity to study the habits of the middle class the gentry and the aristocracy. At twenty-one she began a novel called “The First Impressions” an early version of Pride and Prejudice. In 1801 on her father’s retirement the family moved to the fashionable resort of Bath. Two years later she sold the first version of Northanger Abby to a London publisher but the first of her novels to appear was Sense and Sensibility published at her own expense in 1811. It was followed by Pride and Prejudice 1813 Mansfield Park 1814 and Emma 1815. After her father died in 1805 the family first moved to Southampton then to Chawton Cottage in Hampshire. Despite this relative retirement Jane Austen was still in touch with a wider world mainly through her brothers; one had become a very rich country gentleman another a London banker and two were naval officers. Though her many novels were published anonymously she had many early and devoted readers among them the Prince Regent and Sir Walter Scott. In 1816 in declining health Austen wrote Persuasion and revised Northanger Abby Her last work Sandition was left unfinished at her death on July 18 1817. She was buried in Winchester Cathedral. Austen’s identity as an author was announced to the world posthumously by her brother Henry who supervised the publication of Northanger Abby and Persuasion in 1818.Author 1 Jane AustenAuthor 2 Dr. Nicola BradburyAuthor 3 Dr.Keith CarabineFormat PaperbackEdition Number Reprint EditionEditorial Review Of all Jane Austens heroines Emma Woodhouse is the most flawed the most infuriating and in the end the most endearing. Pride and Prejudices Lizzie Bennet has more wit and sparkle; Catherine Morland in Northanger Abbey more imagination; and Sense and Sensibilitys Elinor Dashwood certainly more sense--but Emma is lovable precisely because she is so imperfect. Austen only completed six novels in her lifetime of which five feature young women whose chances for making a good marriage depend greatly on financial issues and whose prospects if they fail are rather grim. Emma is the exception: "Emma Woodhouse handsome clever and rich with a comfortable home and happy disposition seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence; and had lived nearly twenty-one years in the world with very little to distress or vex her." One may be tempted to wonder what Austen could possibly find to say about so fortunate a character. The answer is quite a lot. For Emma raised to think well of herself has such a high opinion of her own worth that it blinds her to the opinions of others. The story revolves around a comedy of errors: Emma befriends Harriet Smith a young woman of unknown parentage and attempts to remake her in her own image. Ignoring the gaping difference in their respective fortunes and stations in life Emma convinces herself and her friend that Harriet should look as high as Emma herself might for a husband--and she zeroes in on an ambitious vicar as the perfect match. At the same time she reads too much into a flirtation with Frank Churchill the newly arrived son of family friends and thoughtlessly starts a rumor about poor but beautiful Jane Fairfax the beloved niece of two genteelly impoverished elderly ladies in the village. As Emmas fantastically misguided schemes threaten to surge out of control the voice of reason is provided by Mr. Knightly the Woodhouses longtime friend and neighbor. Though Austen herself described Emma as "a heroine whom no one but myself will much like " she endowed her creation with enough charm to see her through her most egregious behavior and the saving grace of being able to learn from her mistakes. By the end of the novel Harriet Frank and Jane are all properly accounted for Emma is wiser though certainly not sadder and the reader has had the satisfaction of enjoying Jane Austen at the height of her powers. --Alix Wilber --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.ISBN-10 1853260282View Full Specifications SpecificationsAbout the Author Though the domain of Jane Austen’s novels was as circumscribed as her life her caustic wit and keen observation made her the equal of the greatest novelists in any language.
