"Sto lavorando ad un'eroina che non piacerà a nessuno, tranne a me stessa" così Jane Austen parlava di Emma, la sua protagonista, un'eroina assolutamente anticonvenzionale per l'epoca, una ragazza bella intelligente e ricca, con una grande autostima, libertà d'azione e un'indole brillante. Emma Woodhouse è una ventunenne che non intende sposarsi, consapevole che il matrimonio sia per lei del tutto inutile (vista la situazione già così felice) e consapevole che, in virtù della sua posizione sociale, non diventerà mai una povera zitella, ma sarà sempre una donna ricca di fascino e interessi.

Emma vit avec son père, un vieil homme veuf et malade. Elle est belle intelligente et riche. Avec le mariage de sa gouvernante qui la quitte, Emma décide de s'occuper du mariage de nombre de ses relations. Sûre d'elle, elle est persuadée d'avoir les talents pour cette activité. Mais son inexpérience de l'amour et des gens, ses propres erreurs de jugement sur ses émotions amoureuses, lui valent bien des surprises et déceptions.

Popełnia jednak jeden błąd za drugim i wreszcie zdaje sobie sprawę, że być może wcale nie zna ludzi tak dobrze, jak jej się wydawało. W rzeczywistości być może nie rozumie nawet własnych uczuć – zwłaszcza wobec pewnego dżentelmena.

Emma Woodhouse no es la típica heroína de Jane Austen: no es dependiente, no tiene un status y una economía precarios, y no necesita, para asegurar su futuro, cazar marido. Al contrario, es una joven «inteligente, bella y rica», que no aspira al matrimonio y que rige como por derecho natural los destinos de la pequeña comunidad de Highbury. Emma (1816) es una fulgurante comedia de equívocos, llena de ocultaciones, intrigas y errores que muchas veces inspiran vergüenza ajena, pero en la que el sentido del ridículo sirve como vehículo para el acierto y la sensatez.
