Emma can be enjoyed as a charming love story, a detective story, and a comic and lively picture of English life 200 years ago.

Perfectly content with her life she sees no need for either love or marriage, yet nothing pleases her more than meddling in the romantic lives of others.

Emma Woodhouse no es la típica heroína de Jane Austen: no es dependiente, no tiene un status y una economía precarios, y no necesita, para asegurar su futuro, cazar marido. Al contrario, es una joven «inteligente, bella y rica», que no aspira al matrimonio y que rige como por derecho natural los destinos de la pequeña comunidad de Highbury. Emma (1816) es una fulgurante comedia de equívocos, llena de ocultaciones, intrigas y errores que muchas veces inspiran vergüenza ajena, pero en la que el sentido del ridículo sirve como vehículo para el acierto y la sensatez.

Albeit that she is not yet 21, Emma Woodhouse foresees a future as a spinster dabbling in matchmaking.

Todo cambia el día en que el centro recibe la visita de Tariq Khan, hijo de un influyente ministro del sultanato de Omán.

Arrogant, self-willed, and egotistical, Emma is Jane Austen's most unusual heroine. Her interfering ways and inveterate matchmaking are at once shocking and comic. She is "handsome, clever, and rich" and has "a disposition to think too well of herself." When she decides to introduce the humble Harriet Smith to the delights of genteel society and to find her a suitable husband, she precipitates herself and her immediate circle into a web of misunderstanding and intrigue, from which no one emerges unchanged.

Es así que toma bajo su tutela a la humilde Harriet Smith para conseguirle un marido.

"Sto lavorando ad un'eroina che non piacerà a nessuno, tranne a me stessa" così Jane Austen parlava di Emma, la sua protagonista, un'eroina assolutamente anticonvenzionale per l'epoca, una ragazza bella intelligente e ricca, con una grande autostima, libertà d'azione e un'indole brillante. Emma Woodhouse è una ventunenne che non intende sposarsi, consapevole che il matrimonio sia per lei del tutto inutile (vista la situazione già così felice) e consapevole che, in virtù della sua posizione sociale, non diventerà mai una povera zitella, ma sarà sempre una donna ricca di fascino e interessi.
