Publisher's Synopsis
The Watsons is a novel written by Jane Austen, but left unfinished at the time of her death. The story follows the lives of the Watson family, who are forced to move to a new town after their father's death. The eldest daughter, Emma, is the main character and the story revolves around her attempts to find a suitable husband. The novel is set in the early 19th century and explores themes of social class, marriage, and societal expectations of women. Although incomplete, The Watsons is still considered an important work in Austen's oeuvre and provides insight into her writing process and themes.The next morning brought a great many visitors. It was the way of the place always to call on Mrs. Edwards the morning after a ball, and this neighbourly inclination was increased in the present instance by a general spirit of curiosity on Emma's account, as everybody wanted to look again at the girl who had been admired the night before by Lord Osborne. Many were the eyes, and various the degrees of approbation with which she was examined.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
