| Emma First published in 1816, Emma is generally regarded as Jane Austen's most technically brilliant and comic work. An heiress who is determined not to marry ends up falling in love. Emma Woodhouse is a snob, a meddler, and spoilt; but she is also clever, funny, generous, and compassionate. As in all of Jane Austen's works, the simple theme of courtship belies the complexity of her vision of human nature.

| Pride and Prejudice Jane Austen herself called this brilliant work her "own darling child." Published anonymously in 1813, Pride and Prejudice is a superb comedy of manners. In recounting the courtship of the witty, independent Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy--the handsome bachelor whose arrogant pride Elizabeth regards as a fatal flaw--Austen illuminates the prejudices of society as a whole with subtle humor.
