“Austen reportedly said, before writing the novel, “I am going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like.” But it’s hard not to like Tyler’s Emma.”

“As Emma Woodhouse, [Tyler] is everything Jane Austen describes in her novel: handsome, clever and rich. And she’s a constant, a graceful and articulate catalyst, who provokes and inspires the rest of the characters.”

“Miss Woodhouse, brought sprightfully and delightfully to life by Emma Sipora Tyler. Tyler infuses her character with both joie de vivre and reckless self-confidence.”

- Harold Jaffe, Picture This Post
