500 Great Books By Women discussion

Emma, Jane Austen, 1816, England, NOVEL

"...Read it to see how a scheming heiress who is determined not to marry ends up embracing love and growing in maturity without dying or becoming impossibly insipid—the fate of so many nineteenth-century heroines...As in all of Jane Austen's works, the simple theme of courtship here belies the complexity of her vision of human nature and of our need for power..."

(C.K., p. 164)
