Emma | Jane Austen

Extended family is gone, and everyone remaining is in a food coma or napping after our annual Christmas day brunch, so I'm catching up on this month's books. I finished my reread of Emma for #Pemberlittens #JaneAustenThenandNow, and I loved it as much as ever! I'm resigned to the fact that I'll have to finish the last 3 books of the challenge in the new year. @Crinoline_Laphroaig

Crinoline_Laphroaig Well #AustenMeetAnnie January is read something you meant to read for #JaneAustenThenAndNow so there's that. But you can never go wrong reading Jane Austen anytime! 11h

Frank actually shows up in Highbury! Emma is charmed by his easy gregariousness but Knightley sizes him up as an affected, preening fop. Meanwhile, the Coles are throwing a party and Emma is dying to reject their invitation - but then it doesn't come?! How absolute dare! When it belatedly shows up, she actually agrees to grace them with her presence and even condescends to sing and play for them. And then Jane performs after her and *crushes it*.

What news! Elton is engaged to one Miss Hawkins of Bristol. He swans around in triumph over his hot, rich wife-to-be, but Emma clocks the truth ‐ she's pretty enough but she has no real class or connections, and worst of all, her family money was made in some totally dubious way. The narrator throws some shade here and I'm curious about your thoughts, #PemberLittens - does the new Mrs. E have slave-trade connections? (Article link in comments!)

Today's chapters give us the backstory on yet another orphaned kid from Highbury, Jane Fairfax. Niece to the chatterbox Miss Bates, Jane is being raised and educated by friends of her father, the Campbells. Emma suspects some drama between Jane and the husband of her foster sister, but Jane isn't spilling any tea. Worse, she knows Frank Churchill and *refuses* to gossip about him, offering only vague generalities, which Emma finds unforgivable.

So much happened in Emma while I was in the woods! Most recently Frank Churchill still hasn't arrived to celebrate his father's marriage. Mr. Knightley tears him to shreds while Emma's all, "Lay off, he's sure to be charming!" To be fair, Emma knows a thing or twelve about "tempers to manage" and cuts Frank some slack. After managing her entire family's emotional load just a few chapters ago during the dinner from Hell, her outlook totally tracks.

I'm keeping up with my two chapters a day, even if I'm not keeping up with posting! Taking time out this week for some camping and hiking and time offline, and it's been wonderful. I'm still truly attempting to find good in Emma with every chapter and it's not easy, can't lie. Especially when she's manipulating Harriet into refusing Robert Martin and completely misinterpreting (willfully or not? Let's debate!) the situation with Elton. UGH!

AnneCecilie I don‘t think there‘s any evil in Emma , so I think she doesn‘t pick up Elton‘s signs. Or she‘s so focused on her own idea of Harriet and Elton, that everything is interpreted that way 4mo
Ruthiella I don‘t think Emma is purposefully ignoring the signs but but rather because she believes she is so far out of Mr. Elton‘s league she doesn‘t pick up on his signals. 4mo

Day 2 and Emma is already testing my commitment to finding the good in her! We did see her tending lovingly to her father once again in these chapters. And she's lonely and isolated and needs a friend, so how nice that she invites Harriet Smith to come hang! Too bad she immediately launches a campaign to shame Harriet about her crush on Mr. Martin, who might not be rich but knows what a woman *really* wants! (A song performed by a shepherd's son.)

DrSabrinaMoldenReads You understand her by the end. I did not like her at first either. 4mo

I'm really going to try to give Emma the benefit of the doubt this time! Today I'm calling out two things: first, Emma's evident care for her aging, anxious father; the girl has spent all of her teens graciously managing his emotional and mental health. Second, Mrs. Weston, a whole adult, apparently started treating Emma like a bestie when she was 13?! 😬 Not to be all 2025 about this, but I think we can confidently call Emma a parentified child.

Andrea313 @DrSabrinaMoldenReads Hmm, interesting. I think Emma definitely assumes a caretaker role and prematurely becomes the lady of the house. But I don't think it's all negative for her; she seems to thrive in having power and the ability to arrange most things to to suit her own wishes and desires. While her care of her father must be stifling at times, her situation also allows her to be selfish and self-centered in many ways. 4mo
DrSabrinaMoldenReads @Andrea313 That was a bit extreme. I admit. I think it is as you describe it. (edited) 4mo
Crinoline_Laphroaig And the power of lady of the house gives her a bit of control, which she likes because of uncertainty of her father's health. 4mo

Today the #PemberLittens start the Austen work that challenges me most- because while I admire the skilled construction of this world and the way all the action unfolds, I just don't like the central couple. Will this be the re-read that makes me see the light on spoiled, shallow Emma and scolding Knightley? I'm kicking off with a tattered paperback to see me through a rustic camping trip, then switching to a gorgeous Folio edition. Let's begin!

DrSabrinaMoldenReads Emma had to grow on me 4mo
Andrea313 @DrSabrinaMoldenReads In almost 30 years of reading Austen's work, Emma and I have never gotten there. 😂 But still, I'll try again. 4mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig I think of her as a loveable snob. Plus a few years ago I read article about how Emma was a caregiver for her father. It changed my perspective. She's rich but can't travel anywhere because of him. She's basically tied to her elderly parent. 4mo
Andrea313 @Crinoline_Laphroaig Yes, I read that one, too! And just finished chapter 1 and was reminded of that again- she spends so much of her energy cajoling him along and making things pleasant for him. How absolutely exhausting, and yet she shows up for him every day. I do believe that Emma is loving and loyal. 4mo
willaful @Crinoline_Laphroaig I find it interesting that people have written whole books speculating that Mr. Darcy is autistic (The Claudia Grey series perhaps inspired by that) but completely ignore the far more diagnosable Mr. Woodhouse. Emma is definitely a caregiver. Her life revolves around keeping things safe and comfortable for her anxious father. She's never really had a chance to use her gifts. I'd love to see a rewrite that addresses that! 4mo
Andrea313 @willaful This crossed my mind today, too! Austen mentions twice that Mr. Woodhouse is "never able to suppose that other people could feel differently from himself". That kind of inflexible thinking got me pondering more about him. 4mo
DrSabrinaMoldenReads @Andrea313 I liked her. Not sure why. She was feisty for that time period. It would have taken a lot of emotional strength 4mo
Andrea313 @DrSabrinaMoldenReads Agreed on her emotional strength. I do think Emma has the capacity to be generous and loving; it just takes time and experience for her to extend that same compassion to people she thinks are beneath in any way. 4mo
Crinoline_Laphroaig @Andrea313 I didn't live with them but definitely remember how exhausting it was dealing with parents health problems. 4mo
Crinoline_Laphroaig @willaful so often it's the 'handsome, clever, rich' that gets all the attention. 4mo
LeahBergen I feel much the same way about them (and have the same Folio edition 🙌🏻)! 4mo

"Emma's very good opinion of Frank Churchill was a little shaken the following day, by hearing that he was gone off to London, merely to have his hair cut... There was an air of foppery and nonsense in it which she could not approve." Reading Emma is always a mixed bag for me, as I detest her snobbery and conceit, but you have to hand it to her on this one! Frank Churchill, fuck alllllll the way off; foppery and nonsense indeed. #PemberLittens

BarkingMadRead 💯 emma is definitely a snob, and my least favorite heroine, but i think she means well (edited) 2y

This was the only Austen remaining that I hadn't read yet, although I've seen many adaptations so I knew the story. It is not my favorite of her books and it seems so long even though it is about average for her books. Emma annoys me and Frank Churchill is insufferable. Knightley is a redeeming factor, with his shy little love confession. And Miss Bates is a hoot throughout. She is by far my favorite character.
#AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville

TheAromaofBooks Emma is my least favorite of Austen... Emma herself annoys me to no end. And while I love Knightley, I also feel like Emma doesn't really have any other options. 2y

Jane Austen is the #AuthorAMonth for January. I actually started Emma last month and listened to a third of the audiobook. I haven‘t listened at all this month. I had decided before the #AuthorAMonth list was posted that I would listen to every Jane Austen book, hopefully in 2024. So, while I didn‘t finish Emma this month, I will finish it sooner rather than later. Wish me luck on My Jane Austen Journey.

julieclair What a fun idea! 2y
CatLass007 @julieclair Well, I have to admit that the only other Jane Austen I‘ve ever read is the first half of Pride and Prejudice several years ago. I decided that if I was participating in the #PemberLittens #JaneAdjacent #BuddyRead I should read the source. I joined the #NoPlaceLikeHolmes buddy read for the same reason. There are many #HolmesAdjacent books out there that seem interesting and I should go to the source so I understand the (cont)⬇️ 2y

julieclair That makes a lot of sense. I have joined #RandomClassics, hosted by @TheAromaofBooks , for much the same reason. There are so many classics I have not read. 2y
CatLass007 @julieclair I‘ve joined that also, and for the same reason. But I bailed on Don Quixote and wasn‘t really interested in Uncle Tom‘s Cabin. But I hope to pick back up with Evelina this month. 2y
julieclair I didn‘t even try with Don Quixote. I‘m behind on Uncle Tom, but want to catch up and finish. 2y
CatLass007 @julieclair I kept hearing the music for Man of La Mancha in my head so I thought I ought to try the source material. But it stopped being funny pretty quickly and turned into a big sad. I just couldn‘t put myself through that. If I want to cry I could watch Brian‘s Song again or read Of Mice and Men again. Or maybe some John Irving. 2y
TheAromaofBooks I was doing the classics on my own, but then decided to start the reading group to help keep myself accountable 😂 @julieclair 2y
julieclair @TheAromaofBooks Now you‘re tasked with keeping all the rest of us accountable, too! 😂😂 2y

Jane Austen is an author I really want to love. I could watch movie adaptations of her novels all day. But I just can‘t capture the nuance in her writing when I read her books. I‘m going to keep on trying, though.

#AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville

JenReadsAlot I'm working on this one right now too.... 2y
MrsV I have to agree. I‘m slogging through Persuasion right now. I love Austen books as movies. I think it‘s just her writing “wordy” for me. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ 2y
Soubhiville @JenReadsAlot @MrsV @DHill me too. I‘m using Serial Reader for P&P, and while I like the characters, the writing itself can be a slog. I‘m going to finish it though! 2y

Im starting this today and was thinking about how I didn't remember where I got it. I flipped through to count the chapters and found this bookmark. Dutton's North Hollywood was my first bookstore job. It was heaven on earth. My coworkers were warm and hilarious, the building was funky (in a good way), and I discovered so many books there. I had worked there about a year when the owners announced they were closing the store. (Continued in comment)

lauraisntwilder I cried. I hid in the corner, where Drama butted up against Literature and sat on the floor and cried. The Jane Austen books were right beside me. I bought stack and stacks of books at a crazy reduced price and I wonder if this was one of the ones who watched over me while I cried. I hope so. ❤ 3y

This book took me AGES to finish. I found it slow, dense, a bit monotone at times... and then the interesting bits come at the end of the book!
I pushed myself to finish it, since it's a classic, but I hesitated A LOT if it was worth my time and effort to go all the way.

Emma is an amazing story, it's funny, lighthearted, and an amazing friends to lovers slow burn.
I read this right after Mansfield Park and it felt like a breath of fresh air.
Mr. Knightley is the typical Jane Austen love interest that I hate to love because they‘re too good to be real, such a kind, mature, and compassionate soul.
Definitely on my top 2 Jane Austen novels.

“My dearest Emma,' said he, 'for dearest you will always be, whatever the event of this hour's conversation, my dearest, most beloved Emma - tell me at once. Say "No," if it is to be said.
Emma was almost ready to sink under the agitation of this moment. The dread of being awakened from the happiest dream was perhaps the most prominent feeling.”

quote
roronoazoro
Emma | Jane Austen

“She saw that there never had been a time when she did not consider Mr Knightley as infinitely the superior, or when his regard for her had not been infinitely the most dear. She saw, that in persuading herself, in fancying, in acting to the contrary, she had been entirely under a delusion, totally ignorant of her own heart - and, in short, that she had never really cared for Frank Churchill at all!”

quote

“Whom are you going to dance with?' asked Mr Knightley.
She hesitated a moment, and then replied, 'With you, if you will ask me!
Will you?" said he, offering his hand.”

“Emma felt must draw everybody's eyes and, excepting her own partner, there was not one among the whole row of young men who could be compared with him. (…) Whenever she caught his eye, she forced him to smile but in general he was looking grave.”

So I actually loved a lot of this - Emma is quite the character, and I found the film to really bring it all to life for me! The reason I've rated it so-so is that the pacing was a bit slow for me and I found it to drag at points. That said, I am putting some of this down to this being my 4th Jane Austen in a row, so I'm going to read something else for a bit before reading the last 2 of her books!💫

Next up: Purple Prose: Bisexuality In Britain!

KathyWheeler I‘m reading Emma right now and it is a little slow. What I‘ve done though is read until I‘m not in the mood, put it down (sometimes for months), and pick it back up again when I‘m in the mood. It‘s taken me about two years to get half way through, but I don‘t get bored and I don‘t forget what‘s happened. 4y
Moll I like that; good approach! 4y

"Have you anything to send or say, besides the 'love,' which nobody carries?" I love Mr. Knightley's occasional quips like this. Really, why do we all feel compelled to "send our love" or even "tell her hello" when it doesn't really mean anything? Chapter 45. #pemberlittens

#MayCharacters - Meddles: How could such a word be used to describe this fabulous individual? Much better served by words like caring, curious and clever. Yes, she gets it all wrong on Harriet‘s behalf thus ‘meddling‘ gets the upper hand. But she means well. She hopes to find an upgrade husband for Harriet thus sweet ‘matchmaker‘ is to my liking (although her selection skills need some drastic improvement🥴). I like her as she is...endearing Emma!
