Note on the Text

This text is based on the first edition of ‘1816’ (actually published December 1815), the only one to be prepared in Austen’s lifetime. Typographical errors (such as missing or wrongly set letters and chapter headings) have been silently corrected, but where there is any doubt about a particular word, I have indicated the problem in the notes.

Emma presents few textual difficulties, since no manuscript survives and the second edition did not appear until 1833.
