Emma Woodhouse

also: Emma, Miss Woodhouse

Austen's 'handsome, clever, and rich' heroine — mistress of Hartfield at twenty-one; readers here are divided, some unable to bear her, others preferring her to all Austen's other heroines. The name also does double duty for the book itself, as when Mrs. C. Cage writes of 'the loan of Emma'.
