From the Paper:

"Introduction
In the novel Emma by Jane Austen, the main character of the same name is a young woman who can be considered a precursor of the modern feminist heroine. From the beginning of the novel, she stands as a strong woman fulfilling her role as mistress of her house and her life. It is not surprising that this character would attract the attention of a rising actress like Gwyneth Paltrow or that the strength of the character would be seen as speaking directly to contemporary generations so that a film of the novel would be made. Actually, this was the second film to be made from Emma within a year, the first being set in contemporary Beverly Hills, while the 1996 version called Emma recreated the period while still imposing a somewhat different sensibility on the original material.
