Document Summary

Required readings: emma volumes 2 & 3. Last week, we introduced emma by focusing on its historical context, its reception, and its genre. This week, we will move on to look at some of the particulars of. Austen"s style and how these work within her chosen genre.

A word of warning: we mentioned last week that emma"s structure is similar to that of a detective novel, and did our best to avoid spoiling the ending. Since you will likely have finished the novel by this time, we will be referencing some of the plot twists that occur late in the novel.
