Austen, Jane 1775-1817

Northanger Abbey - London Penguin Books 1994 - 236 p. - Penguin Popular Classics .

Though "Northanger Abbey" is one of Jane Austen's earliest novels, it was not published until after her death. The novel is modeled after the day's popular romances and Gothic thrillers, which it then proceeds to ridicule. The heroine is Catherine Morland, who encounters upper-crust society at Bath, falls in love, and becomes targeted by misinformed fortune-seekers. After moving to Northanger Abbey, her imagination goes to work and dreams up mysteries that lead to various social disasters.
