    At Goucher, the serious and silly sides of Jane Austen

    The Baltimore Sun

    Emma Woodhouse never had much romantic interest in the men in her 19th-century English social circle. But if she were a living, breathing character in modern Maryland, she'd be sure to fall head over heels for an exhibition now on display at a Baltimore County college.

    Little Patuxent Review

    Dr. Wells sees Emma as Austen’s greatest novel, because it does so much with minimal material. The whole story takes place in one small town (Highbury), and the plot hinges on mystery and the intrigue caused by strangers coming into a tight-knit community.

    Jane Austen em Português

    A primeira edição de Emma na America foi publicada em 1816, portanto ainda em vida de Jane Austen.
