The novel The Jane Austen Book Club (2004) by the American author Karen Joy Fowler, rewrites the canonical work of Jane Austen modifying different features. Following Gérard Genette’s theory of transtextuality, we analyzed the hypertextual relation between the austenian novel (hypotext) and Fowler’s (hypertext). We focused on the rewrite of Emma (1815) as it sets the beginning and the end of The Jane Austen Book Club’s story. Thus, we analyzed the work on the characters, specific situations and the courtship plot of the hypotext in relation to its rewrite in the hypertext. Through this relationship, Fowler questions both Austen’s historical context and her own, showing the place that personal relationships and women have in society. La novela The Jane Austen Book Club (2004) de la autora norteamericana Karen Joy Fowler reescribe la obra canónica de Jane Austen modificando diversos elementos. Siguiendo la teoría de Gérard Genette sobre transtextualidad, analizamos la relación de hipertextualidad entre la novela austeniana (hipotexto) y la de Fowler (hipertexto). Nos centramos particularmente en la reescritura de Emma (1815) ya que marca el inicio y el final de la historia de la novela norteamericana. Analizamos, entonces, el trabajo sobre los personajes, situaciones específicas y la trama nupcial del hipotexto en relación con su reescritura en el hipertexto. Vemos que mediante esta relación, Fowler cuestiona tanto el contexto histórico de Austen como el suyo propio, mostrando el lugar de las relaciones personales y de la mujer en la sociedad.
