Emma (in English)

Synopsis "Emma (in English)"
Emma is a novel by the Englishwoman Jane Austen, published anonymously (A Novel, December 1815, by the author of Sense and Sensibility and Pride) Mocking the attempts of the heroine to make meet the bachelors of his entourage the ideal spouse, painted with humor the life and problems of the provincial class wealthy under the Regency. Emma is considered by some Austrians to be her most accomplished work. Considered by Sir Walter Scott as a herald of a new kind of more realistic novel, Emma first disconcerts her contemporaries by the meticulous description of a small provincial town, where not much happens outside the events of The daily life of the community. Another essential aspect is that of the novel of learning, the learning of life by Emma herself, who, despite the vivacity of her mind, struggles so much to understand the feelings of others and her own. Other aspects of the novel, taken later, may also surprise us, such as its character of "crime novel without murder", which only a thorough re-reading allows to fully appreciate. Emma has been the subject of several translations in French, the first just one year after its publication in England. After a "forgetfulness" of a hundred years, the novel was serialized in the Journal des débats in 1910; As is often the case in Jane Austen's French translations, the irony and the "second degree" proper to the author disappear in the adaptation that is made of it. The work has since been regularly published in French, in more or less faithful translations-adaptations.
Fue una novelista británica que vivió durante la época georgiana. Nació en la rectoría de Steventon (Hampshire). Su familia pertenecía a la gentry británica (nobleza rural o burguesía agraria), contexto del que no salió y en el que sitúa todas sus obras, siempre en torno al matrimonio de su protagonista.
Ha sido llevada al cine en numerosas ocasiones, algunas veces reproducidas de forma fiel, como el clásico Más fuerte que el orgullo de 1940 dirigido por Robert Z. Leonard y protagonizada por Greer Garson y Laurence Olivier y en otras haciendo adaptaciones a la época actual, como es el caso de Clueless, adaptación libre de Emma. Otras versiones son la de Sentido y sensibilidad, de 1995; Mansfield Park, de 2000, y las de Orgullo y prejuicio en 2004 (dirigida por Gurinder Chadha) y en 2005 (dirigida por Joe Wright). Sin embargo, la versión más fiel y perfecta que hasta ahora se ha hecho del libro de Orgullo y prejuicio es la serie que presentó la BBC protagonizada por Colin Firth y Jennifer Ehle. El interés que la obra de Jane Austen sigue despertando hoy en día muestra la vigencia de su pensamiento y la influencia que ha tenido en la literatura posterior. Su vida también ha sido llevada al cine con la película Becoming Jane (2007).
