Emma Woodhouse believes herself to be an excellent matchmaker, though she herself does not plan on marrying.

She lived with her family at Steventon until they moved to Bath when her father retired in 1801. After his death in 1805, she moved around with her mother; in 1809, they settled in Chawton, near Alton, Hampshire. Here she remained, except for a few visits to London, until in May 1817 she moved to Winchester to be near her doctor. There she died on July 18, 1817. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e As a girl Jane Austen wrote stories, including burlesques of popular romances. Her works were only published after much revision, four novels being published in her lifetime. These are \u003cb\u003eSense and Sensibility\u003c\/b\u003e (1811), \u003cb\u003ePride and Prejudice\u003c\/b\u003e (1813), \u003cb\u003eMansfield Park\u003c\/b\u003e (1814) and \u003cb\u003eEmma\u003c\/b\u003e (1816).

She also left two earlier compositions, a short epistolary novel, \u003cb\u003eLady Susan\u003c\/b\u003e, and an unfinished novel, \u003cb\u003eThe Watsons\u003c\/b\u003e. At the time of her death, she was working on a new novel, \u003cb\u003eSanditon\u003c\/b\u003e, a fragmentary draft of which survives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 592\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.55 x 7.48 x 5.06 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 13, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41955805495431,"sku":"9780593622476","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/9841018328190911e1f60d2df8958df1.webp?v=1734074156","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/emma-hardcover","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
