Beschreibung

AMMA, by Jane Austen, is a novel about youthful hubris and the perils of misconstrued romance. The novel was first published in December 1815. As in her other novels, Austen explores the concerns and difficulties of genteel women living in Georgian-Regency England; she also creates a lively comedy of manners among her characters.
Before she began the novel, Austen wrote, "I am going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like." In the first sentence she introduces the title character as "Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich." Emma is spoiled, headstrong, and self-satisfied; she greatly overestimates her own matchmaking abilities; she is blind to the dangers of meddling in other people's lives; and her imagination and perceptions often lead her astray. The novel has been adapted for several films, many television programs, and a long list of stage plays.

Portrait

Jane Austen (1775-1817)One of the world's most famous and prolific women authors, Jane Austen was born in Hampshire, England. Austen remains a dearly loved novelist, thanks to her social commentary on the British gentry at the time. She extensively wrote about women and their dependence on men, the said and unsaid rules of patriarchy, and what they had to do in order to either gain or retain their social standing. Crafted with classic humour, wit, and sarcasm, Austen's writing transcends the barriers of age and time.Jane Austen started writing at a young age for the amusement of those around her, as gifts for loved ones - and, interestingly, as a way of catharsis. Given that the society at the time viewed women in restricted social roles - as merely mothers and wives - Austen published her books anonymously. The truth was only made public by her brother, Henry, after her death in 1817. Of her published novels - some of which include Sense and Sensibility, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey - Pride and Prejudice remains one of the best-loved works among readers to this day. She also wrote an adapted play, titled Sir Charles Grandison, and a satire called Plan of a Novel in addition to multiple poems, letters, and prayers during her lifetime.
