Emma
New York Modern Library 2001 0375757422 / 9780375757426 7th printing Trade Paperback Very Good
xxi, 359 pp.; 21 cm. Tight, clean copy. Light edgewear to wraps, age toning. One leaf dogeared. "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. So begins Jane Austen's comic masterpiece Emma. In Emma, Austen's prose brilliantly elevates, in the words of Virginia Woolf, the trivialities of day-to-day existence, of parties, picnics, and country dances of early-nineteenth-century life in the English countryside to an unrivaled level of pleasure for the reader. At the center of this world is the inimitable Emma Woodhouse, a self-proclaimed matchmaker who, by the novel's conclusion, just may find herself the victim of her own best intentions. This Modern Library Paperback Classics edition includes newly commissioned notes on the text. / A. Walton Litz is professor emeritus of English at Princeton University." - Publisher.
