Jane Austen teased readers with the idea of a 'heroine whom no one but myself will much like': but Emma is irresistible. 'Handsome, clever, and rich', Emma is also an 'imaginist', 'on fire with speculation and foresight'. She sees the sighs of romance all around her, but thinks she will never be married. Her matchmaking maps out relationships tha Jane Austen ironically tweaks into a cleares perspective. Judgement and imagination are matched in games the reader can enjoy, and the end is a triumph of understanding.
