Classics Book Club - Emma by Jane Austen Online
Join Mary Meo, Director of the Clinton Area Stage Troupe, in a discussion of Emma, first published in 1819, and written when Jane Austen was at the height of her powers. In it, we have her two greatest comic creations the eccentric Mr. Woodhouse and that quintessential bore, Miss Bates. In it, too, we have her most profound characterization: the witty, imaginative, self-deluded Emma, a heroine the author declared "no one but myself will much like," but who has been much loved by generations of readers. Delightfully funny, full of rich irony, Emma is regarded as one of Jane Austen's finest achievements.
