Emma

HarperCollins is proud to present our range of timeless literary classics. The real evils, indeed, of Emma’s situation were the power of having rather too much her own way, and a disposition to think a little too well of herself… Beautiful, rich, self-assured and witty, Emma Woodhouse delights in matchmaking those around her, with no apparent care for her own romantic life. Taking young Harriet Smith under her wing, Emma sets her sights on finding a suitable match for her friend. Chided for her mistakes by old friend Mr Knightley, it is only when Harriet starts to pursue her own love interests that Emma realises the true hidden depths of her own heart. Delightful, engaging and entertaining, and with a dazzling gallery of characters, Emma is arguably Austen’s most well-loved social comedy.

With an Introduction and Notes by Dr Nicola Bradbury, University of Reading. Jane Austen teased readers with the idea of a 'heroine whom no one but myself will much like', but Emma is irresistible. 'Handsome, clever, and rich', Emma is also an 'imaginist', 'on fire with speculation and foresight'. She sees the signs of romance all around her, but thinks she will never be married. Her matchmaking maps out relationships that Jane Austen ironically tweaks into a clearer perspective. Judgement and imagination are matched in games the reader too can enjoy, and the end is a triumph of understanding.

'I wonder what will become of her!' So speculate the friends and neighbours of Emma Woodhouse, the lovely, lively, wilful,and fallible heroine of Jane Austen's fourth published novel. Confident that she knows best, Emma schemes to find a suitable husband for her pliant friend Harriet, only to discover that she understands the feelings of others as little as she does her own heart. As Emma puzzles and blunders her way through the mysteries of her social world, Austen evokes for her readers a cast of unforgettable characters and a detailed portrait of a small town undergoing historical transition. Written with matchless wit and irony, judged by many to be her finest novel, Emma has been adapted many times for film and television. This new edition emphasises the novel's extraordinary technical audacity. While apparently conservative in its choice of setting and range of characters, it was - and is - a formally revolutionary work.

'Her masterpiece, mixing the sparkle of her early books with a deep sensibility' Robert McCrum, Observer Although described by Jane Austen as a character 'whom no one but myself will much like', the irrepressible Emma Woodhouse is one of her most beloved heroines.

Jane Austen's novel of youthful exuberance and gradual self-knowledge is a brilliant, sparkling comic masterpiece. Edited with an Introduction by FIONA STAFFORD

Emma Woodhouse er både smuk, intelligent og rig. Efter sin mors død har hun indtaget rollen som førstedame på Hartfield, hvor hun bor sammen med sin omsorgsfulde, men noget hypokondriske far. Woodhouse-familien er en af de fornemmeste på egnen, og Emma er meget bevidst om sin overlegne position såvel som sine øvrige fortrin. Da hun påtager sig rollen som Kirsten Giftekniv over for sin veninde Harriet, løber hendes livlige fantasi flere gange af med hende, og hendes tendens til at nære lidt for høje tanker om sig selv og sin egen dømmekraft medfører utallige forviklinger og får helt uforudsete konsekvenser. Emma, som også er meget kærlig og charmerende, har mange venner, der tilsyneladende alle er blinde over for hendes fejl. Bortset fra Mr. Knightley. Han forsøger utrætteligt at få den stædige Emma til at indse sin egen indbildskhed, men da hun endelig begynder at indrømme sandheden over for sig selv, er det lige ved at være for sent. "Bogen er som en brusende kvadrille med partnerskifte, til alle efter megen uvished finder den rette … totalbilledets elskværdighed er uimodståelig." - Jacob Paludan, Politiken "Rene mesterstykker er portrætterne af den snakkesyge Miss Bates og Emmas far, den gamle forpylrede Mr. Woodhouse. De er bundkomiske, men meget menneskelige og meget elskelige. Alle hendes figurer træder os lyslevende i møde tværs gennem deres historiske mundering. Giv dem andre hatte, bukser eller kjoler på, og vi har dem spadserende rundt imellem os i dag." - Mogens Knudsen, Information

Hendes hovedværker Stolthed og fordom og Emma hører til blandt klassikerne i engelsk litteratur. Hendes fokus er altid rettet mod den engelske landadel, som hun beskriver meget levende og belyser med satirisk finesse. Hendes tilsyneladende banale, men alligevel dybe kærlighedshistorier glæder i dag millioner af læsere over hele verden. De er næsten alle blevet filmatiseret flere gange med stort held. Claudia Kühn er en tysk dramaturg, underviser og forfatter. Hun er en stor beundrer af Jane Austens skrivekunst, og hver gang hun har læst alle romanerne, begynder hun forfra igen. Hun bor i Berlin med sin familie. Tara Spruit arbejder som kunstner og illustrator i Holland. Hun har specialiseret sig i digitale illustrationer, Character Design og tegneserier. Når hun ikke lige sidder og tegner, drømmer hun om fantasy-verdener og historiske klædedragter.

Emma Woodhouse er 20 år og har det hele. Hun er køn, rig, velbegavet, har et dejligt hjem og et godt humør. Halvt i kedsomhed og halvt i en ukuelig tro på egne evner begynder hun at matche venner og bekendte - først uden sans for konsekvenserne for hende selv og andre. Men lidt efter lidt begynder tingene at gå skævt, og da hun selv begynder at få følelser for en, hun er ved at sætte sin veninde op med, er det lige ved at gå rent galt. Emma fra 1816 er blandt de tre mest kendte Austen-romaner og er ligesom Stolthed og fordom filmatiseret flere gange. En Austen-klassiker om kærlighed, klasse og privilegier. Emma er nyoversat af Lærke Pade og udkommer op til Jane Austens 250-års fødselsdag i december 2025.

Emma er yngste datter af mr. Woodhouse og efter sin mors død førstedame på familieejendommen Hartfield i Surrey. Hun holder af sin position og sin privilegerede tilværelse og kaster sig ud i rollen som Kirsten Giftekniv. Med større eller mindre held forsøger hun at føre folk fra sin omgangskreds sammen, og det går også ud over veninden Harriet. Emmas eneste kritiker, mr. Knightley, prøver ihærdigt at give gode råd, men Emma er stædig og egenrådig. Jo hårdere hun forsøger at hjælpe, desto værre ser det ud til at blive. Og hvis hun ikke passer på, kan hun let forspilde sine egne chancer. EMMA er en elsket Jane Austen-klassiker. Bogen udkom første gang i 1816 og er blevet filmatiseret til det store lærred og genindspillet til tv adskillige gange. Denne udgave er oversat af Vibeke Houstrup i 2013.

She's young, she's beautiful, she's witty. Emma is about the life of a beautiful, clever and rich woman of twenty-one, who lives with her father in their huge estate. The wealthy, and somewhat spoilt Emma Woodhouse has no interest in falling in love or getting married, but finds pleasure in trying to make romantic matches for her friends. After the successful Union of Miss Taylor, her long time governess and friend, with Mr Weston, she takes young Harriet Smith under her wing, the next target of her matchmaking schemes. Mr Knightley, a trusted friend of the Woodhouses, is the only one who criticizes her and advises whenever necessary, but the naïve Emma has a long way to go before she realises the consequences of her actions as a self-proclaimed matchmaker. The story follows Emma's journey through all her meddling and how she discovers a lot about herself and about an unrealised love. Jane Austen's Emma is a delightful read about misconstrued romances and daily life in a small town.

After the successful Union of Miss Taylor, her long time governess and friend, with Mr Weston, she takes young Harriet Smith under her wing, the next target of her matchmaking schemes. Mr Knightley, a trusted friend of the Woodhouses, is the only one who criticizes her and advises whenever necessary, but the naïve Emma has a long way to go before she realises the consequences of her actions as a self-proclaimed matchmaker. The story follows Emma's journey through all her meddling and how she discovers a lot about herself and about an unrealised love. Jane Austen's Emma is a delightful read about misconstrued romances and daily life in a small town.
