Rosemary | 4455 comments 20.4 Emma (1815)

Austen began Emma with the intent to write "a heroine whom no one but myself will much like." The 1995 film adaptation, Clueless, created an "Emma" who was perhaps much more widely adored. Read a book that has been adapted into a movie, or read a retelling of one of Austen's novels.

When you claim the book-to-movie option, please include a link to show that there was a movie adaptation.

Please post questions about this task here.
