Book excerpt: The real evils, indeed, of Emma's situation were the power of having rather too much her own way, and a disposition to think a little too well of herself....The narrator opens the novel by introducing us to Emma Woodhouse, a girl endowed with "some of the best blessings of existence," including good looks, intelligence, riches, and an affectionate father. Emma's only disadvantages are that she is slightly spoiled and that she thinks "a little too well of herself." Emma's mother died before Emma could form many memories of her, but her gentle governess, Miss Taylor, provided a motherly love. After Emma's older sister, Isabella, was married and moved to London, Miss Taylor and Emma became best friends.As the novel begins, Miss Taylor has just left Hartfield, the estate of Emma and Mr. Woodhouse, to marry a widower named Mr. Weston, and Emma is left without a companion. She attempts to comfort her despondent father, who hates change, with the thought that they will see the new Mrs. Weston often, but Emma only partially succeeds in comforting herself. At this moment, neighborhood resident Mr. Knightley, the brother of Isabella's husband, pays a visit, having returned from visiting their mutual relations in London. He affirms the appropriateness of the match between Mr. Weston and Miss Taylor and gently chides Emma when she claims credit. Emma declares that she will repeat her matchmaking success by finding a wife for Mr. Elton, the village rector.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Emma" was first posted by John Murray in December of 1815. It changed into the closing of Austen's novels to be posted before her death, and, like her in advance works, turned into published anonymously. Shortly before the booklet of "Emma," Austen became invited to satisfy with the Prince Regent's librarian, who encouraged her to commit her next novel to the Prince Regent a outstanding admirer of her paintings. Although Austen became now not especially keen on the Prince, she selected to comply with the librarian's idea and later satirized her assembly with him in "Plan of a Novel, in line with hints from various quarters."There had been thousand copies of "Emma" printed in the first edition, however extra than 1 / 4 remained unsold after 4 years. The novel was usually properly-received by means of the public. Unfortunately, Austen earned little or no from its booklet: most of the earnings have been used for the ill-timed printing of a 2nd version of "Mansfield Park" some months later, and she or he in the long run most effective earned 40 pounds from the radical in her lifetime.
