Storyline
In early 19th-century England, Emma Woodhouse, is a congenial but naïve young woman. Her father and old family friend, George Knightley, whose brother is married to Emma’s sister, dispute her claim and discourage any further matchmaking attempts. Ignoring their warnings, she schemes to match Mr Elton, the village minister, with her friend, Harriet Smith, a rather unsophisticated young woman on the verges of society.

“I've never watched any of the adaptations of my books. I've never wanted to, and there's no chance of me doing so in the future.”
