⁂ Austen's fourth novel, published in an edition of 2000 copies. Thomas Moore wrote to Samuel Rogers in June 1816: "Let me entreat you to read 'Emma' - it is the very perfection of novel-writing - and I cannot praise it more highly than by saying it is often extremely like your own method of describing things - so much effect, with so little effort!".
