Emma traverses a gentle satire of provincial balls and drawing rooms, along the way encountering the sweet Harriet Smith, the chatty and tedious Miss Bates, and her absurd father Mr. Woodhouse - a memorable gallery of Austen's finest personages. Thinking herself impervious to romance of any kind, Emma tries to arrange a wealthy marriage for poor Harriet, but refuses to recognize her own feelings for the gallant Mr. Knightley. What ensues is a delightful series of scheming escapades in which every social machination and bit of "tittle-tattle" is steeped in Austen's delicious irony. Ultimately, Emma discovers that "Perfect happiness, even in memory, is not common." 650 7 $a Fathers and daughters $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Female friendship $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Mate selection $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Young women $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Classic literature. 651 7 $a England $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Romance $2 gsafd 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0711/2003116499-d.html 856 41 $3 Sample text $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0711/2003116499-s.html 941 $a 3 952 $l ZNPA437 $d 20210210013548.0 952 $l DKPC353 $d 20180707025402.0 952 $l XUPC157 $d 20160408035119.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=891A8EBC2B1011DEAA7E7608A8D7520AInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
