"Emma"
This novel about youthful hubris and the perils of misconstrued romance and was the last of her
six novels to be completed, written while she was in Chawton. The story takes place in the fictional
village of Highbury and the surrounding estates of Hartfield, Randalls, and Donwell Abbey and involves
the relationships among individuals in those locations consisting of "3 or 4 families in a country village".
The novel was first published in December 1815. As in her other novels, Austen explores the concerns
and difficulties of genteel women living in Georgian–Regency England; she also creates a lively comedy
of manners among her characters and depicts issues of marriage, gender, age, and social status.
