Which Austen Heroine Held Her Position in Society at Christies Yesterday?

Why the handsome, clever and rich Miss Emma Woodhouse of course who garnered a whopping sum at Christies auction in New York. Read about all six Jane Austen first editions that went on the auction block realizing a six figure King's randsome at Austenprose.

Miss Woodhouse is certainly in the news lately with the upcoming Emma adaptation starting on January 24th, 2010 on Masterpiece Classic and the Bollywood movie Aisha in production.

If Mr. Knightley thinks "Vanity working on a weak head, produces every sort of mischief" then with all this added attention, Miss Woodhouse will need to be taken down a few notches.

Cheers, Laurel Ann, Austenprose
