Project Gutenberg 1994-08-01 Public domain in the USA. 96753 Austen, Jane 1775 1817 Emma Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emma_(novel) An Anonymous Volunteer and David Widger "Emma" by Jane Austen is a novel written in the early 19th century, during the Regency era. The story centers around Emma Woodhouse, a lively and privileged young woman who relishes playing matchmaker among her friends, particularly after her beloved governess, Miss Taylor, marries Mr. Weston. This transition leaves Emma feeling a sense of solitude and motivates her to engage in her matchmaking schemes, which often involve her friend Harriet Smith, who is somewhat less socially positioned. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to Emma's comfortable but somewhat sheltered life at Hartfield. The initial chapters outline Emma's reflections on her situation, her father Mr. Woodhouse's character, and her close bond with Miss Taylor, who has just married, leading to a poignant sense of loss for Emma. The opening portion establishes a contrast between Emma’s self-assured attitude and the potential consequences of her meddling, particularly as she begins to navigate her feelings towards Harriet and a potential match with young farmer Robert Martin. The dynamics of social class and the intricacies of relationships are evident, hinting at the complexities that will unfold as Emma's well-intentioned interventions may not yield the outcomes she anticipates.
