Harold Bloom
Calling Jane Austen's Emma "charming," Harold Bloom states, "Austen is not writing a tragedy of the will...but a great comedy of the will." He goes on to say thatAusten's heroines have firmly definedselves, each molded with an individuality that suggests the author's potential for creating endless diversity in her enduring works. In Emma, Jane Austen displayed the full height of her literary powers, her refined comedic sensibility and sharp sense of social satire joining forces to produce one of he most endearing and memorable protagonists in the history of the novel. Much like the fictional residents of the town of Highbury, the pampered and often self-deluded Emma Woodhouse has charmed legions of readers with her wit and wiles. Jane Austen's Emma, New Edition features contemporary critical commentary on this classic novel.
