  • Emma and “The Children in Brunswick Square” : U
    y y Emma and “the children in Brunswick Square” : u : LAURIE KAPLAN Laurie Kaplan, Professor of English and Academic Director of George Washington University’s England Center, has published essays on Jane Austen, Tom Stoppard, Paul Scott, and women writers of the First World War. She is a former editor of Persuasions . “‘To give up one’s child! ’” I C O J A ’ Emma , on the evening of Miss Taylor’s marriage to Mr. Weston, when Emma and her father are feeling abandoned and bereft, Mr. Knightley arrives at Hartfield “directly from their mutual con - nections in London . to say that all were well in Brunswick-square” (9). 1 A contemporary reviewer of Emma “commended” Austen in The Champion for her choice of John and Isabella Knightleys’ neighborhood : “ when we are occa - sionally transported to London, our authoress has the originality to waive Grosvenor or Berkeley-squares, and set us down in humble Brunswick- square ” ( qtd. in Cronin and McMillan 534). While Austen’s syntax empha - sizes “Brunswick-square,” critics have commented upon the airy neighb orhood where Mr. Knightley’s brother and Emma’s sister live only in the broader con - text of London. Yet, Austen repeats Brunswick Square so many times (eleven, in fact) that the square functions as an iconic (perhaps ironic) motif . But how does this notch in a corner of Bloomsbury resonate in the context of a novel that seems to focus more specifically on Hartfield and Highbury? What is Brunswick Square to Emma , and what is Emma to Brunswick Square? The recurring reference to Brunswick Square may be one of the reasons Jane Austen was reluctant to dedicate her novel to the Prince Regent.
