Emma King's Classics

Emma Woodhouse is a strong, independent woman, who is perfectly happy to remain single. When Emma takes on a fancy to matchmaking, she begins to interfere into the love lives of those around her. However, her eagerness to match people together, sparks unintended results that send shock waves throughout the countryside. Jane Austen is famous for her six novels, Sense and Sensibility, Pride and prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion. Her works of romantic fiction, set among the landed gentry, earned her a place as one of the most widely read writers in English literature. Her realism, biting irony and social commentary as well as her acclaimed plots have gained her historical importance among scholars and critics.
