Jane Austen’s classic novel Emma has been adapted into multiple movies, some greater than others. Every few years, Hollywood dives back into the bodiced world of Regency England to resuscitate one of Jane Austen’s spunky, whimsical heroines — with the most recent lavish restoration going to Autumn de Wilde’s version, Emma (2020), starring Anya Taylor-Joy as the captivating conductress of romantic ruination. It’s the classic tale of pride, privilege, and one irrepressibly likable heroine. Every generation has their favorite version of Austen’s story.
