Emma by Jane Austen

Product description

Chiltern Publishing was formed in 2018 with a vision to create the most beautiful classics. Jane Austen's original books (particularly Pride and Prejudice) from the 1800s were their inspiration. So, using a perfect mix of tradition and the very latest in printing techniques, 19th century quality has met 21st century technology. The specification of the books reflects the size and format of the original Jane Austen books, and this is maintained throughout all of the Chiltern Classics editions. With wonderfully detailed covers, sparkling gilt edges, creamy pages, and stitched binding they are the most beautiful classics ever published.

As Emma Woodhouse attempts to orchestrate the romantic lives of those around her, Austen expertly reveals that she may not be as much in control as she would like to believe. Emma was first published in 1816, the year before Jane Austen died. Austen herself thought that Emma was someone “no one but myself will much like”. In spite of Austen’s fears, the indomitable Emma Woodhouse continues to win the loyal hearts of each new generation of readers.
