In 1854, Charlotte Brontë began working on a new novel. "Emma" was supposed to be the most ambitious work of the writer since "Jane Eyre", but due to illness, Charlotte managed to write only a few dozen pages. There were several attempts to complete the story, but the most successful was the version presented in this edition by Claire Boylan.
