In \u003ci\u003eEmma, \u003c\/i\u003eAusten’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, may just find herself the victim of her own best intentions.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e INCLUDES A MODERN LIBRARY READING GROUP GUIDE","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47133271032048,"sku":"9781101098226","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781101098226_p0.jpg?v=1763685188","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781101098226","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
