Opera matura di Jane Austen, Emma è tra gli scritti che meglio restituiscono la profondità con cui l'autrice costruisce i suoi personaggi. Emma, ricca e bellissima ereditiera, si diverte a tessere amicizie e amori dei personaggi che la circondano rivendicando attraverso la decisione di non sposarsi i privilegi del suo status. Il gioco di Emma non esce dai limiti delle gerarchie sociali, in cui allontanarsi dalla propria classe comporta infelicità e insuccessi. Questo divertissement si scontra però con la complessità dell'animo umano: quando i sentimenti prevalgono sulle differenze di status, i suoi pronostici si rivelano errati e anche i suoi sentimenti, celati dal buon costume e dalla volontà di restare nubile, rischiano di rimetterci. Quello di Emma Woodhouse appare come un percorso di crescita personale in cui le dinamiche della nobiltà inglese di primo Ottocento vengono tratteggiate con sarcasmo, esuberanza e acume.

Pubblicato anonimo nel 1816, \"Emma\" appartiene agli scritti cosiddetti \"della maturità\" di Jane Austen. Tema centrale nel romanzo è il fraintendimento in amore. Emma, la protagonista, rimasta padrona assoluta della casa dove vive dopo il matrimonio della sorella, si trova a gestire il piccolo mondo che le ruota intorno con una buona volontà alquanto presuntuosa. Accolta in casa una giovane ragazza, Henriette Smith, Emma cerca di maritarla adeguatamente. Tra i possibili pretendenti sceglie per lei Elton, il vicario del paese, inducendola a rifiutare al con tempo l'offerta di Martin, un rispettabile agricoltore del luogo. Ma ogni piano salta quando in realtà si scopre che Elton, in fondo un arrampicatore sociale, voleva invece sposare Emma. Fra i tanti personaggi che la circondano, l'unico in grado di dire la verità a Emma, e di farle notare i suoi difetti e le sue debolezze, è l' amico Knightley, suo vicino e fratello maggiore del cognato. Alla fine sarà proprio lui a sposarla, mentre Henriette convolerà a nozze con il giovane Martin, precedentemente respinto. Anche in questo romanzo Jane Austen pone al centro della sua narrazione le atmosfere, i desideri e i vissuti della gentry inglese di inizio Ottocento, riuscendone a restituire gli odori e le dinamiche più profonde.

Discover the story of Jane Austen’s Emma with this exquisite edition from Union Square & Co.’s Signature Gilded Editions series! The stunning Emma special edition features sprayed edges, color end pages, a built-in ribbon bookmark, and embossed foil cover. The beautiful design and attention to detail set this special edition book apart, whether you’re reading for the first time or building a library of your favorite classic literature books.\n  \n Handsome, clever, and rich, Emma Woodhouse delights in interfering in the romantic lives of others. But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr. Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protégée, Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected.\n  \n Though not widely recognized during her lifetime, Jane Austen has become one of England's most renowned novelists. Born in 1775, Austen lived a quiet life and began writing in her youth, though she did not publish until 1811 with the anonymous release of Sense and Sensibility. This was followed by three novels before her death in 1817: Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), and Emma (1816). Austen is known for her satirical portraits of social customs and marriage rituals, though she wrote during the passionate Romantic period. Some view her as aligned with earlier eighteenth-century ideals of reason and propriety. However, her witty heroines also reflect an emerging feminism and intelligence that contrasted with women's confined roles. While her endings espouse marriage, novels like Emma provoke questions about women's fulfillment and Austen's own views. Through her rich domestic portraits and investigations of social mores, Austen captured the constrictions on women's lives with insight that still resonates centuries later.

Emma è una giovane donna dell’alta società inglese. Orfana di madre, vive con Mr. Woodhouse, il padre apprensivo e ipocondriaco e con la governante e cara amica Taylor che, però, ben presto la lascia per convogliare a nozze. Da quel momento, Emma metterà in atto dei rocamboleschi tentativi di formare nuove coppie, convincendosi di avere una sorta di “dono”. Peccato però che le cose non vanno affatto come immaginava, tanto che lei stessa, che fino a quel momento si era dimostrata snob e superficiale, si ritrova invece a mettersi in discussione e a dover ammettere qualcosa di impensabile, stravolgendo completamente la visione di sé e del mondo. Età di lettura: da 10 anni.

The text of the Fourth Edition of the Norton Critical Edition of Emma is based on the 1816 edition published by John Murray. George Justice has lightly and judiciously emended the text for faithfulness and clarity.

New material includes Austen’s correspondence with her publisher about the business of writing, revealing Austen’s view of her own writing and career. In addition, there are two sets of verses—“Kitty, A Fair But Frozen Maid” and “Robin Adair”—referenced in Emma as well as responses (1815–1950) to Austen and her writing from, among others, Charlotte Brontë, Juliet Pollock, Virginia Woolf, D. W. Harding, and Edmund Wilson.\n \n “Reviews and Criticism” includes twelve major interpretations of the novel, nine of them new to the Fourth Edition. New contributors include Jan Fergus, Patricia Meyer Spacks, Tony Tanner, Maaja Stewart, D. A. Miller, Emily Auerbach, Gabrielle D. V. White, Richard Jenkyns, and David Monaghan.\n \n A Chronology and Selected Bibliography are also included.

Dopo aver trovato marito alla governante che le ha fatto da madre, si dedica con grande determinazione a Harriet Smith, una ragazza povera e ingenua, che spera di poter spingere tra le braccia del reverendo Elton. Anche se il tentativo si rivela fallimentare, Emma continua a intrecciare flirt con l'indipendenza di chi non teme i sentimenti, finendo però per cadere lei stessa vittima delle proprie manovre. Con \"Emma\" Jane Austen crea un'eroina che, secondo le parole della stessa autrice, non poteva piacere ad altri che a lei: una protagonista ben consapevole della propria bellezza e intelligenza, presuntuosa e pungente, ma di uno spessore umano complesso e sfaccettato, capace d'incantare i lettori d'ogni epoca.

This book is essential for anyone interested in learning about the therapeutic potential of orthodox and state-of-the-art supports for autistics. Using research evidence, supports are rated using a Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Tin category system. ‘Gold’ is extremely promising and use with confidence, whereas ‘Tin’ is extremely unsafe and potentially life threatening. This book, however, is more complex than just presenting literature reviews about supports for autistics and then rating the efficacy of the support. In addition to this, the insights and experiences of autistics about the autism supports examined are presented. Such testimonials provide an insider perspective from those who ultimately stand to benefit or suffer after receiving a support – namely autistics themselves.

Emma is considered by many readers to be Jane Austen's crowning achievement, a timeless comedy of manners that lays bare the limits on women's autonomy in Regency England. The disparity between Emma Woodhouse's self-confidence and self-knowledge, and her determination to arrange marriages for her friends while avoiding one for herself, leads to a painful series of misunderstandings for everyone who suffers from her well-meaning altruism - and with Mr Knightley being the only person of her acquaintance who has the good sense to challenge her, Emma must eventually recognize her match in every sense.\n\nLong praised for its rich detail and perfect craftsmanship, Emma is one of those classic masterpieces that readers go back to again and again for its inexhaustible fund of humanity.

Emma è bella, intelligente e ricca, ma ha il brutto vizio di voler combinare matrimoni. Dopo esserci riuscita una volta, si mette in testa di favorire l’unione di Harriet Smith, sua amica intima priva di titoli nobiliari, con Mr Elton, facoltoso parroco del paese. Sempre a fin di bene, Emma innesca poi una girandola di malintesi, che sfoceranno in situazioni ora comiche ora tragiche; ella stessa sarà trascinata, peraltro, nell’occhio del ciclone, divenendo oggetto, a un tempo, del desiderio di Mr Elton e del biasimo di Mr Knightley, l’unico suo punto di riferimento e, forse, anche l’unico amore della sua vita. Fra situazioni bizzarre, colpi di scena e intrighi sentimentali, la Austen ritrae un felice spaccato della società inglese del primo Ottocento, affrescando il romanzo con personaggi 'veri' nelle loro manie, nei loro pregi e difetti. Fra questi, spicca certo Emma, una giovane dal carattere difficile che crea veri e propri disastri a fin di bene: proprio grazie a tali cadute, d’altronde, riesce a maturare e a diventare, finalmente, una donna. Uscito per la prima volta nel 1815, Emma conserva ancor oggi la freschezza di una trama ricca di sentimento e di sorprese, nonché l’energia formidabile di una protagonista sui generis.

Opera matura di Jane Austen, \"Emma\" è tra gli scritti che meglio restituiscono la profondità con cui l'autrice costruisce i suoi personaggi. Emma, ricca e bellissima ereditiera, si diverte a tessere amicizie e amori dei personaggi che la circondano rivendicando attraverso la decisione di non sposarsi i privilegi del suo status. Il gioco di Emma non esce dai limiti delle gerarchie sociali, in cui allontanarsi dalla propria classe comporta infelicità e insuccessi. Questo divertissement si scontra però con la complessità dell'animo umano: quando i sentimenti prevalgono sulle differenze di status, i suoi pronostici si rivelano errati e anche i suoi sentimenti, celati dal buon costume e dalla volontà di restare nubile, rischiano di rimetterci. Quello di Emma Woodhouse appare come un percorso di crescita personale in cui le dinamiche della nobiltà inglese di primo Ottocento vengono tratteggiate con sarcasmo, esuberanza e acume.

A bold, witty and fresh adaptation of Jane Austen's novel which, while thoroughly modern, retains the spirit and much of the language of the original.\n\n\n\nIt is night-time and an exhausted Jane Austen sleeps over the recently completed manuscript of her novel Emma. Her four nieces steal in and decide to act out the text and, after her initial anger on being wakened, Jane herself takes the role of Mr Knightley. The excitable teenage girls often try to take the story into their own realms of fantasy but are always brought back to the real text by Jane.\n\n\n\nThis adaptation of Jane Austen's Emma, by Doon MacKichan and Martin Millar, was first performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August 1999, transferring to the Tricycle Theatre, London, in September.

HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved, essential classics.\n\n\n \n '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...'\n \n\n\n 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.\n\n\n Delightful, engaging and entertaining, and with a dazzling gallery of characters, Emma is arguably Austen's most well-loved social comedy.
