What is biblogy in the novel emma?

You're likely thinking of "Bibliotaph" rather than "Biblogy." This is a term that describes a person who hoards books. While not explicitly stated, it's a term that could accurately describe Mr. Woodhouse in Jane Austen's *Emma*.

Here's why:

* His love of books: Mr. Woodhouse is deeply attached to his library and spends a lot of time reading. He even mentions owning a book for 50 years.

* His hoarding tendencies: He's known to be extremely attached to his possessions, including his books. He is reluctant to let go of anything, even if it's no longer useful.

* His resistance to change: Mr. Woodhouse's preference for the past and his aversion to new ideas make him unlikely to part with any of his books.

While not a "bibliophile" (a lover of books), Mr. Woodhouse's attachment to his library and his unwillingness to discard any of its contents makes him a prime candidate for the term "bibliotaph."

It's important to note that Jane Austen never uses the term "bibliotaph" in the novel. It's a term that has been applied to Mr. Woodhouse by later readers and critics.
