Jane Austen's 1815 novel Emma focuses on the title character Emma Woodhouse and her romantic entanglements in the village of Highbury. Austen believed that a woman's choice of a marriage partner was crucial. She wrote domestic fiction set only in England from her own experiences. Austen used a floating third-person limited point of view rather than a fixed third-person or omniscient perspective to follow the thoughts and actions of multiple characters in Highbury and their connections to Emma.
