The editor’s note emphasizes Emma’s imagination and will-to-heroism, while the essays analyze Miss Bates and Mr. Woodhouse as “fools,” Emma’s narrative geography, the romantic bond between Mr. Knightley and Emma, and the novel’s closing pages as an epithalamium. Additional chapters address Harriet Smith, verbal excess, health and comfort, and the meaning of the “gypsy” presence.",{"@graph":69,"@context":115},[70,84,106],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":15,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/jane-austens-emma-new-edition-edited-and-with-an-introduction-by-harold-bloom/330475/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/jane-austens-emma-new-edition-edited-and-with-an-introduction-by-harold-bloom/330475.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Genevieve","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-04","2026-09-21",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":105},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",23,{"@type":107,"mainEntity":108},"FAQPage",[109],{"name":110,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":112},"Which topics do the included essays cover?","Question",{"text":113,"@type":114},"They examine characters as “fools,” narrative geography, romantic affinity between Mr. Knightley and Emma, the novel’s last pages as an epithalamium, the defense of Harriet Smith, and the impact of the gypsy presence on meaning.","Answer","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":117,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":119,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":121,"site_id":62},330475,1790085314,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":124},{"doc_id":121,"user_id":125,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":126,"doc_module":4,"category_id":14,"category_name":15,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":127,"file_id":128,"file_url":129,"file_type":130,"file_size":131,"view_count":105,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":132,"language":133,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":134,"faqs":135,"seo_title":136,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":137,"read_time":138},1374391974585,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_276721f389ce27ea32af1340a28f341c","Bloom’s Modern Critical Interpretations  \nThe Adventures of Huckleberry Finn The Age of Innocence Alice’s Adventures in  \nWonderland All Quiet on the  \nWestern Front Animal Farm The Ballad of the Sad  \nCafé Beloved  \nBeowulf Black Boy The Bluest Eye  \nThe Canterbury Tales Cat on a Hot Tin Roof Catch-22  \nThe Catcher in the Rye The Chronicles of  \nNarnia  \nThe Color Purple Crime and Punishment The Crucible  \nCry, the Beloved Country  \nDarkness at Noon Death of a Salesman The Death of Artemio  \nCruz The Diary of Anne  \nFrank Don Quixote Emerson’s Essays Emma Fahrenheit 451  \nA Farewell to Arms Frankenstein The Glass Menagerie The Grapes of Wrath Great Expectations The Great Gatsby  \nGulliver’s Travels Hamlet  \nHeart of Darkness The House on Mango  \nStreet I Know Why the  \nCaged Bird Sings The Iliad Invisible Man Jane Eyre The Joy Luck Club Julius Caesar The Jungle  \nKing Lear  \nLong Day’s Journey into Night  \nLord of the Flies The Lord of the Rings Love in the Time of  \nCholera Macbeth The Man Without  \nQualities The Merchant of  \nVenice The Metamorphosis  \nA Midsummer Night’s Dream  \nMiss Lonelyhearts Moby-Dick My Ántonia Native Son Night  \n1984 The Odyssey Oedipus Rex  \nThe Old Man and the Sea  \nOn the Road  \nOne Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest  \nOne Hundred Years of Solitude  \nOthello Persuasion Portnoy’s Complaint Pride and Prejudice Ragtime  \nThe Red Badge of Courage  \nRomeo and Juliet The Rubáiyát of Omar  \nKhayyám The Scarlet Letter A Separate Peace Silas Marner Slaughterhouse-Five Song of Solomon The Sound and the  \nFury The Stranger A Streetcar Named  \nDesire Sula  \nThe Sun Also Rises  \nThe Tale of Genji A Tale of Two Cities“The Tell-Tale Heart”and Other Stories Their Eyes Were Watching God Things Fall Apart The Things They  \nCarried To Kill a  \nMockingbird Ulysses  \nWaiting for Godot The Waste Land Wuthering Heights Young Goodman  \nBrown  \n\n| Bloom’s Modern Critical Interpretations |\n| --- |\n| Jane Austen’s\u003Cbr>Emma\u003Cbr>New Edition |\n\nEdited and with an introduction by  \nHarold Bloom  \nSterling Professor of the Humanities Yale University  \nBloom’s Modern Critical Interpretations: Emma—New Edition  \nCopyright © 2010 by Infobase Publishing Introduction © 2010 by Harold Bloom  \nAll rights reserved.
