Emma de Jane Austen, narra la historia de Emma Woodhouse, una joven rica, inteligente y hermosa, que acaba de presenciar la boda de su amiga, compañera y antigua institutriz, la señorita Taylor, con el señor Weston, un viudo vecino.
Aunque el matrimonio es ideal en todos los sentidos, Emma no puede evitar suspirar por su pérdida, pues ahora solo quedan ella y su padre en Hartfield. El señor Woodhouse es demasiado mayor y se preocupa demasiado por trivialidades como para ser un compañero adecuado para su hija. Los Woodlouse son la familia más influyente del pueblo de Highbury. En su pequeño cÃrculo de amigos, hay suficientes señoras de mediana edad para formar mesas de juego para el señor Woodhouse, pero ninguna joven que pueda ser amiga y confidente de Emma. Nostálgica de su querida señorita Taylor, ahora la señora Weston, Emma acoge bajo su protección a Harriet Smith, la interna de la residencia estudiantil de un internado cercano. Aunque no es brillante en absoluto, Harriet es una chica guapa de diecisiete años conmodales agradables y modestos, y la grata costumbre de admirar a Emma como un modelo a seguir.
Emma by Jane Austen tells the story Emma Woodhouse, a rich, clever, and beautiful young woman, has just seen her friend, companion, and former governess, Miss Taylor, married to a neighboring widower, Mr. Weston.
While the match is suitable in every way, Emma cannot help sighing over her loss, for now only she and her father are left at Hartfield. Mr. Woodhouse is too old and too fond of worrying about trivialities to be a sufficient companion for his daughter. The Woodhouse's are the great family in the village of Highbury. In their small circle of friends, there are enough middle-aged ladies to make up card tables for Mr. Woodhouse, but there is no young lady to be a friend and confidant to Emma. Lonely for her beloved Miss Taylor, now Mrs. Weston, Emma takes under her wing Harriet Smith, the Parlor boarder at a nearby boarding school. Although not in the least brilliant, Harriet is a pretty seventeen-year-old girl with pleasing, unassuming manners, and a gratifying habit of looking up to Emma as a paragon.
