<br/><br/> Jane Austen (1775-1817) was born in Hampshire, England, to George Austen, a rector, and his wife, Cassandra. Her novels include Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), Emma (1815), and Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, published together posthumously in 1818. A short epistolary novella, Lady Susan, and another unfinished work, The Watsons, were publish posthumously in 1871, and a final unfinished novel, Sanditon, was eventually published in 1925. Her works are considered to be among the finest examples of early 19th century British literature, hallmarks of the transitionto 19th century literary realism. 
<br/><br/> "Set in the fictitious village of Highbury, Jane Austen's Emma is the story of a clever, albeit spoilt, woman - Emma Woodhouse, who lives with her father. Emma is not an instantly likeable girl; at first glance, she seems rather selfish and arrogant. The world around her; however, caters to her whims and fancies for the most part, except one Mr Knightley, who is frank in his judgement and opinion of her." -- Back cover.
