From what I can gather, Emma has never ventured into Written by AnnetteJ (1/31/2011 11:13 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, And she does go on to qualify her sweeping statement, penned by Kathleen Glancy

the world outside of Highbury. Was there any mention of her visiting her sister in London? If there was, I must have missed it. She seems to base her pronouncements on what she sees in Highbury -- Miss Bates is liked in Highbury, so she must be the exception to the rule. I do not feel this is a social satire in the tradition of P&P and Thackeray's Vanity Fair, although I am always open to the possibility I am incorrect.
