Examine how Emma's surprising views on marriage reflect the limited opportunities for women in Regency England, in this excerpt from the 2009 Masterpiece adaptation of Jane Austen's Emma. In this scene, Harriet is shocked to hear Emma proclaim, "...I have very little intention of marrying at all." For a woman in Regency England this is an almost radical proclamation. This resource is part of the Masterpiece Collection. [1:05]
