In \u003ci\u003eEmma, \u003c\/i\u003eAusten's prose brilliantly elevates, in the words of Virginia Woolf, \"the trivialities of day-to-day existence, of parties, picnics, and country dances\" of early-nineteenth-century life in the English countryside to an unrivaled level of pleasure for the reader. At the center of this world is the inimitable Emma Woodhouse, a self-proclaimed matchmaker who, by the novel's conclusion, may just find herself the victim of her own best intentions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e INCLUDES A MODERN LIBRARY READING GROUP GUIDE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA.
