Emma was the daughter of Mr. Woodhouse and Harriet, a pretty orphan who is resolved to scheme her advancement in society, oversees her education. Harriet rejects the advances of a local young farmer as being beneath her because Emma insists that she devotes her time exclusively to her advancement.
Jane Austen was born in 1775 in Hampshire, England, and dies in 1817. She was the daughter of a vicar. Emma is widely considered to be her gresatest novel, and cements her position as one of the greatest writers in the England language. The author herself later in life summarised all her novels as being about 'three or four families in a country village'.
