Life and Background
While Pride and Prejudice is doubtless Jane Austen's most widely read and popular novel, many critics aver that her fullest achievement, the masterpiece of her six completed novels, is Emma. One cogent reason put forward is that at the time of its writing (January 21, 1814, to March 29, 1815) Miss Austen had reached a calm high point in her development as an artist, a point of steady, relaxed control over both her subject matter and her technique.
The temporal substance of her novelsthe manners and interests of the upper middle class in late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Englandwas that of her own surroundings from the beginning. Born on December 16, 1775, the seventh of eight childrensix boys and two girlsshe had more than common varied contact with the limited world of provincial gentry because her father was a country clergyman, the rector of Steventon in the county of Hampshire in south-central England. Though she accompanied her elder sister Cassandra to two boarding schools only to return home at the age of nine to remain there, she had the advantage of growing up and studying in an educated family. In the evenings amid the needlework and other domestic activity, Mr. Austen read aloud. Some time was probably devoted to the utility of "improving conversation." In addition, the Austens were a novel-reading family. But for the novelist she was to become, her "education" was the total provincial community in which she came to maturity and of which she was to remain ever fond, as both a place to live and a scene to delineate. In a letter of her adulthood she said that ''such a spot is the delight of my life; three or four families in a country village is the very thing to work on.''
