Set in Highbury's fictitious English city at the beginning of the 19th century, the novel is an interesting sketch of the high middle class of the epoch and of his relaxed form of life. As the skilful artist expresses the atmosphere and the shades of the station, the character and the emotion with a few brushstrokes, Jane Austen sets the scene, develops the history and the characters and expresses the personal relations and of class without penetrating into the psychological studding not even extracting to the light the most deep-rooted motives. It are the incidents and the dialog those who speak all the time.
The book places in some place between the meticulous entertainment of the Austen's first delicious novel, " Pride and Prejudice ", and the moralist "Mansfield Park". Of the book, Jane Austen said: " I Am really distressed by the idea of which to those that prefirieron Pride and Prejudice, it will seem to them to be low in ingenuity, and to those that prefirieron Mansfield Park they will turn out to be minor in prudence ". Nevertheless, centuries after the novel was written, Emma continues the readers being charmed with it.
