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 signs of romance all around her, but thinks she will never be married.
