Emma
- Jane Austen

















Part of the Vintage Classics Austen Series: all six of Jane Austen's major novels, beautifully designed by writer and illustrator Leanne Shapton and introduced by our finest contemporary writers
'Jane Austen's Emma is her masterpiece, mixing the sparkle of her early books with a deep sensibility' Observer
Emma is young, rich and independent. She has decided not to get married and instead spends her time organising her acquaintances' love affairs. Her plans for the matrimonial success of her new friend Harriet, however, lead her into complications that ultimately test her own detachment from the world of romance.

Praise for Emma
Whatever age you are, Austen has something for you. I would go further, in fact, to assert that a reader never comes away from an Austen novel empty-handed
Joanna Trollope
That young lady has a talent for describing the involvements of feelings and characters of ordinary life which is to me the most wonderful I ever met with
Sir Walter Scott
I'd like to write a play as perfect as Emma
Simon Gray
Austen's characters are unquestionably one key to her greatness. Her understanding of the human heart is forensic and also frosted with the necessary detachment that gives deeper meaning to her rendering of human frailty
Guardian
It is the cleverest of books. I especially love the dialogue - every speech reveals the characters' obsessions and preoccupations, yet it remains perfectly natural...absolutely gripping
Susannah Clarke
Jane Austen is my favourite author! Shut up in measureless content, I greet her by the name of most kind hostess, while criticism slumbers
E.M. Forster
Who needs eReaders when book publishers are repackaging classic tales in beautiful covers like these? … Perfect for fans of the author
Bella
Beautifully designed… Perfect collectable gift for Austen fans and design devotees
