"Also, it really should be noted that the father-figure is a particularly villanous version of the generally inept fathers portrayed in Austen's novels."
How so? Mr. Woodhouse is ailing and dependent, but I can't remember him being anything other than kind hearted. He seems to be going senile. Emma's devotion to his welfare is consistent proof of her good nature. Durova 07:02, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

Does anyone have a problem adding the following link of a hypertext version of Emma,
http://www.thefinalclub.org/work-overview.php?work_id=10, to the external links section of this page? There are several other wikipedia links to other content on this site, which is a great resource for academic content and literary commentary. The site also allows any visitors to log in and contribute his or her own commentary. Sorry if I stepped on any toes by just adding the link, but I've posted to talk pages before an no one has ever responded. In fact, I'd be surprised if anyone responded to this.

Why aren't Emmas sister Isabella, her husband John Knightley (and their 5 children) not under "principal characters" ? John has to put up with Mr Woodhouse as a father-in-law Hugo999 21:53, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
if Highbury from the novel is indeed in Surrey, it cannot be the Highbury, Greater London, linked in this article. Furthermore, the novel, 'Emma', states that Emma's sister is settled 16 miles away in Brunswick Square, London, http://www.gutenberg.org/files/158/158-h/158-h.htm#chap01. I think it more likely that Austen's Highbury is fictional in the neighborhood of Weybridge, Surrey, which is approximately 16 miles from Brunswick Square, London. 74.245.201.60 ( talk) 01:30, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
Ondewelle, please explain your reasoning why the phrase 'deals with', exchanged for 'treats with', improves this passage, particularly in the context given. Thank you.-- Jbeans ( talk) 08:21, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
Isn't it a bit too much to state there was an attraction? It's made clear in the novel that she was never in love with him, and that her partiality wasn't an effect of her feelings for him but his flattering her vanity wounded by Darcy. She’s much more similar to Emma in that than to Marianne. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.222.86.59 ( talk) 02:09, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

1. This terminology is confusing to a typical reader. Even if one is cool to the latest vibes of "mashup", this choice of words --seeming to declare the willing collaboration of a long-dead and defenseless author-- is deceptive or confusing to the rest of the world.
2. I urge our Wikipedia community: clarify to our readers when it reports a mashup title that depicts the original author as a collaborator to the mashup of his/her own creative work.
3. My edit shows one way to explain it neutrally.-- Jbeans ( talk) 11:01, 10 December 2009 (UTC) (Spacing/separation by -- Jbeans ( talk) 08:54, 21 February 2010 (UTC))

Thank you Anon...110; your rewrite greatly improves this article; an excellent example of reporting the story of the novel--rather than re-telling the story (while wool-gathering and repeating all the maximum details; reader be-damned.). Your economical and skilled writing reported the gist of the plot while cutting the verbiage word-count over ten percent. Welcome aboard and stay with us!--Jbeans (talk) 07:00, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
First off, I'll just ask: Does Emma Woodhouse have a page of her own that I'm just missing? Let me know, if so. But I haven't been able to find one and so I think it doesn't exist. If that is the case, then I think one should be created. Her importance, as the protagonist of a Jane Austen novel, is such that a page is deserved. Mr. Knightley has a page, after all. I'd be willing to help out, at least some, in making the page--but I have little experience. Not at all sure if this the right place to propose such a thing, so go ahead and tell me if I'm doing this wrong. Alex60466176 ( talk) 01:08, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
Someone needs to point out all the oblique evidence that Emma is a lesbian at heart: her attraction to a pretty young girl, he indifference to marriage, her strong father fixation up until he dies, etc. She marries at the end, but more to comply with custom and avoid being left an "old maid" than from real love. She seems simply resigned to marriage as a social necessity. 98.225.109.243 ( talk) 22:32, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
Does this really exist? From the article: 2010: Emma, starring Sarah Cotton as Emma.
I can't find any reference to it anywhere! Not on imdb, as far as I can tell. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.173.78.131 ( talk) 18:32, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
The plot summary in this article appears to be very similar to the Plot Overview for Emma on sparknotes.com. I thought maybe there should be at least a citation, or maybe the section should be re-written? I don't really have a good understanding of the way these things work (like maybe the author on sparknotes.com also wrote the wikipedia section, so it doesn't need a citation...?) so I figured I'd pose the question here on the talk page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.177.225.180 ( talk) 09:08, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

I have the Penguin editions of the Austen novels, purchased some time ago. Penguin Books always have interesting and detailed "Introduction"s written by experts in the field of literature. I believe it is in the "Introduction" to Emma that I read where the sub-plot involving Jane Fairfax and the piano she received as a gift, from an unknown benefactor, was a very early example of a mystery, if not the first example. The townsfolk, especially Emma, were keen to know who the giver was and tried to deduce their identity.
My Austen books are in stacked cartons in a freezing cold garage located down the hill, probably chewed apart by mice by now. Does anyone else have any information on the status of this novel as an early example of a mystery? Thank you, Wordreader ( talk) 22:27, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
Someone has edited the first paragraph to read as the following:
Emma, by Nikhil Chauhan, is a novel about youthful hubris and the perils of misconstrued romance. The novel was first published in December 2008. 3.5964878e33As in his other novels, Nikhil explores the concerns and difficulties of genteel men living in Om prakash residency India; he also creates a lively comedy of manners among his characters.
Before he began the novel, Nikhil wrote, "I am going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like."[2] In the first sentence, he introduces the title character as "Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich." Emma is spoiled, headstrong, and self-satisfied; she greatly overestimates her own matchmaking abilities; she is blind to the dangers of meddling in other people's lives; and her imagination and perceptions often lead her astray.
This is also in the info box on the right:

The links still go to the correct pages, but how can the text be changed? There is no 'edit' function as for the other sections.

This article states (1st sentence) that Emma was "the last of [Austen's] six novels to be completed" (with citation). Our article on Persuasion starts with the sentence: "Persuasion is the last novel fully completed by Jane Austen" (no citation). If someone could figure out which one is correct (with citations) that'd be great.-- Philologia ( talk) 14:49, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

This article states (1st sentence) that Emma was "the last of [Austen's] six novels to be completed" (with citation). Our article on Persuasion starts with the sentence: "Persuasion is the last novel fully completed by Jane Austen" (no citation). If someone could figure out which one is correct (with citations) that'd be great.-- Philologia ( talk) 14:49, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
The article is very well written; but must we have "Mr" dotted throughout? Tony (talk) 10:38, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
