![]() ![]() Mahesh Rao’s Polite Society shows a world and cast of characters where this idea is everything. ![]() And that is: Sure that our way is the best way. Perhaps this quality is why people love to hate her – she reflects how we all would be if given enough time, money, and influence. To me, the heroine Emma has always gone beyond the place of a lovable but mistaken fictional friend she’s been in some ways, a mirror of myself. It is now battered and torn, but will forever hold a place on my shelves. In fact, my first classic ever read was a neon yellow copy of Emma gifted for Christmas at the age of ten. When I was six, my first introduction to the Regency and the magnificent world of Jane Austen began with a battered VHS copy (Gwyneth Paltrow/Jeremy Northam version) and, well, has never ended. I have loved Jane Austen’s Emma for as long as I can remember. ![]()
