Synopsis "Emma (in English)"
Emma is a comic novel written by Jane Austen, in English, published for the first time in 1815 by the publisher John Murray, on the perils of misinterpreting the romance. The main character, Emma Woodhouse, describes herself as "beautiful, smart and rich" but also quite spoiled Emma is an imperishable work and her protagonist occupies one of the places of honor in the gallery of the unforgettable heroines of universal literature. The meaning of Emma, descends from the meaning "Goddess of Love and fertility," "Goddess of desire" Emma Woodhouse is a young lady in Regency England. He lives with his father, a hypochondriac characterized mainly by his excessive concern for the health and welfare of those he loves. Miss Woodhouse is determined to act as a matchmaker for her friendships and relationships. But in dealing with the affairs of her friends she forgets to attend to her own feelings. Emma's friend, and the only person who criticizes her, is Knightley Knightley, his "neighbor" and brother-in-law (brother of her sister's husband), ten years her senior. When her governess, Miss Taylor, who was practically her friend and confidant, decides to marry, Emma is left alone before its own feelings. Emma, paid for herself, believes that the marriage is due to her, having been the one who introduced her future husband, Miss Weston, to Miss Taylor. Emma faces a vacuum in her life and with a big dilemma: how to help others to have a life as perfect as yours.
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).
