Throughout the novel, Emma learns important lessons about love, friendship, and the consequences of her actions. The book is a classic example of Austen's witty and insightful writing style, and it remains a beloved work of English literature to this day.Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition, seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence; and had lived nearly twenty-one years in the world with very little to distress or vex her.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
