Beautiful, clever, rich - and single - Emma Woodhouse is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage. Nothing, however, delights her more than interfering in the romantic lives of others. But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protégée Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected. With its imperfect but charming heroine and its witty and subtle exploration of relationships, Emma is often seen as Jane Austen's most flawless work.

Jane Austen was born on 16 December 1775 at Steventon, near Basingstoke, the seventh child of the rector of the parish. She lived with her family at Steventon until they moved to Bath when her father retired in 1801. after his death in 1805, she moved around with her mother, in 1809 they settled in Chawton, near Alton, Hampshire. Here she remained, except for a few visits to London, until May 1817, when she moved to Winchester to be near her doctor. There she died on 18 July 1817. Jane Austen was extremely modest about her own genius, describing her work to her nephew, Edward, as ‘the little bit (two Inches wide) of Ivory, on which I work with so fine a Brush, as produces little effect after much labour’. As a girl she wrote stories, including burlesques of popular romances. Her works were published only after much revision, four novels being published in her lifetime. These are Sense and Sensibility(1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma(1815). Two other novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, were published posthumously in 1818 with a biographical notice by her brother, Henry Austen, the first formal announcement of her authorship. Persuasion was written in a race against failing health in 1815-16. She also left two earlier compositions, a short epistolary novel, Lady Susan, and an unfinished novel, The Watsons. At the time of her death she was working on a new novel, Sanditon, a fragmentary draft of which survives.

As her usual focus on the description of the provincial aristocratic-bourgeois life of the late 18th-century England, the gentry families to be specific, Jane Austen writes Emma, with an ever more conspicuous and trenchant view, and in meticulous detai...

看的是signet classics版本的，找不到，就记在这个版本上吧。读英文还是有些吃力的，断断续续读了很久，书买了有2年了吧，最近半年才花了多点时间看，还拿着当Subway book。英语功力还不够，前面觉得挺平淡的，艾玛是个爱管闲事，自作聪明的人。到后面Frank和Jane是一对时开始觉得精彩。对我来说，能看完就是进步了。。。

作为男性读者，我很负责任地说这书无趣的很。但不可否认，简•奥斯汀的文笔绝对一流。我看此书时的状态，和汤姆•汉克斯在《电子情书》里看《傲慢与偏见》的状态是一致的。人生兜兜转转一圈还是会出其不意地回到原点，不同的，是那些宝贵的经历，以及它们给自己带来的灵魂上的深度。

She is a faultless girl despite all her faults. Austen must be a master of language.

其实看了还不到一半，但我终于决定不再在这本书上耗费时间了，里面每个人物真的都太令人讨厌了，不过一直很喜欢这套书的封面，以至于10年前在书店一激动就买了

奥斯丁真是天才，可惜环境限制了她。然而，结局完全滑向了晋江文学啊！
