Quotation:
As well as falling in love with Emma, she became his study on women. "He was in love with her, there was no doubt of that, but she was also a precious commodity-a 'mine', as he so frankly told her, a seam of gold for a writer who knew he had to study the market."
Notes:
He clearly did a good job; through observing her in every little detail, he was able to write so convincingly from the womens' perspective in his novels.
