Jane Fairfax: The Secret Story of the Second Heroine in Jane Austen's Emma
Autor Joan Aikenen Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 feb 1997
Jane Austen's Emma has been a favorite novel for Austenites since 1816. In the mid-1990s it became a favorite movie for millions of new admirers.
A key reason for Emma's success is that the story has two heroines-Emma Woodhouse and Jane Fairfax. In Austen's novel, Jane's backgound is left obscure, and the turmoil underlying her current reduced circumstances in mysterious.
At last we learn her whole story in Joan Aiken's superb retelling of Emma-this time from Jane Fairfax's point of view. When Jane Fairfax was published in hardcover, Aiken's wit, style, and skill prompted Booklist to say, "Brilliant...extraordinarily will done and highly recommended."
This worthy companion to the great original is for the first time now available in paperback.

Descriere
Timed to coincide with the video release of "Emma", starring Gwyneth Paltrow, this faithful and imaginative companion book by the author of "Mansfield Revisited" presents the story of Jane Faixfax, Emma's rival as well as a complex young woman with desires and an emotional life of her own. "Nobody comes close to Aiken to writing sequels to Jane Austen".--"Publishers Weekly".
