Mr. George Knightley. According to Emma Woodhouse, you wonât see one in a hundred who is so clearly the gentleman. Respected by all, heâs kind, unpretentious, and scrupulously honest, with an air so remarkably good that itâs unfair to compare other men to him. We also know heâs been his âown masterâ from a young age. But Jane Austen tells us little more.
What were his early years like, and how did he lose his parents? A man in his mid-30s, he must have had at least one romance along the way. Did it end badly? Is that why heâs never married? When and how did his relationship with Emma shift from friendship to love? And what can explain his incredible forbearance towards the eccentric Mr. Woodhouse? Now, Mr. Knightley reveals these answers and more in His Own Words.
This is not a variation from but a supplement to the original story of "Emma," chronicled in the heroâs point of view. Two-thirds completely new material, it features key events in Mr. Knightleyâs pastâevents that still haunt him and yet have shaped who heâs become, the superior man Emma canât help falling in love with.
